The Red Clover Book Award is designed for children in kindergarten through fourth grade. Each year thousands of Vermont school children read the 10 nominated picture books and vote for their favorite in the spring. The award has been handed out annually since 1997.
The winner of the 2021 Red Clover Book Award is Crab Cake: Turning the Tide Together by Andrea Tsurumi! View her thank-you video to Vermont students here: https://youtu.be/qDI9rnS7Tow
