The Monarch Award

The Monarch is designed to encourage children to read critically and become familiar with children's books, authors and illustrators. The program is open to all K-3rd Grade children in Illinois.*  The Monarch Award is given annually to an author and/or illustrator of a book voted as their favorite by participating K-3 children in Illinois.  Students must read or be read at least 5 of the 20 titles to vote.  To see this years complete list go to:
