This year's Georgia Children's Picture Book Award winner is Hair Love, written by Matthew A. Cherry and illustrated by Vashti Harrison. Hair Love was also the second place book at my school. My students loved this sweet story about a father who tries to fix his daughter's hair while her mother is away.
The first place book in our voting was The Cave by Rob Hodgson. This is a hilarious book about a wolf who tries everything to get a little creature to leave its cave.
And our third place book was The Scarecrow, written by Beth Ferry and illustrated by the Fan Brothers. This book is about the connection between two unlikely friends. The rhyming text and beautiful pictures were so engaging to my students. Several of them actually cried when I read this book to them.
As always, my students enjoyed reading the books on this year's Georgia Children's Picturebook Award nominee list and participating in voting!
