2019 Georgia Children's Picturebook Award Winners

This year's Georgia Children's Picture Book Award winner is Not Quite Narwhal written and illustrated by Jessie Sima. Not Quite Narwhal was also the winning book at my school. My students loved Jessie Sima's debut picture book about a unicorn who thinks he is a narwhal.

The second place book in our voting was Good Night Owl by Greg Pizzoli. This is a hilarious book for beginning readers about an owl who tears down his house looking for the cause of a squeaking noise.

And our third place book was Sergeant Reckless: The True Story of the Little Horse Who Became a Hero by Patricia McCormick. This book is the true story of the only animal to ever hold an official rank in the United States military.
