Quick facts for kids E. B. White Read Aloud Award
Presented by	ABC Children’s Group division of the American Booksellers Association
Country	United States
First awarded	2004; 21 years ago (2004)

The E. B. White Read Aloud Award is a special prize given to books that are perfect for reading aloud. It was created in 2004 by a group called The Association of Booksellers for Children (ABC). They wanted to celebrate books that truly capture the spirit of author E. B. White's amazing stories. White wrote famous books like Charlotte's Web and Stuart Little.

In 2006, the award grew bigger. It was split into two main groups:

• The E. B. White Read Aloud Award for Picture Books (for younger kids).
• The E. B. White Read Aloud Award for Older Readers (for kids like you!).

Books are suggested for the award by independent booksellers. These are people who own and work in local bookstores. They pick books they love and think are great for reading aloud. A special group of booksellers then chooses the final winners. The winners are announced each year at a big children's dinner during BookExpo America, a large book event.

Because booksellers choose the nominees, authors and publishers don't send in their books to be considered. It's all about what the booksellers discover and love in their own stores!
