Registration & Educational Resources
Welcome to the Chocolate Lily Book Awards Program. This is our eighteenth year offering this literacy program to BC schools and families. We hope you enjoy this year’s list of nominated titles. Students read the nominated titles and vote for their favourite book.
The B.C. Chocolate Lily Book Awards encourages grade school students to read some of the best fiction published by British Columbia's children's authors and illustrators.
It all began with a desire to introduce B.C. children to the books created by authors and illustrators living in their own communities and to promote literacy. Many wonderful books have been published by award-winning children’s authors and illustrators who make B.C. their home.
“B.C. is a treasure trove of talent,” said Gail Winskill, formerly at Fitzhenry & Whiteside and now publisher at Pajama Press. The Chocolate Lily Book Awards celebrates this homegrown talent.
There are three categories:
-
Picture Book, as voted by students in Kindergarten through Grade 4
-
Chapter book/Early novel for Grades 2 through 4
-
Novels for Grades 4 - 7
