Yellow Cedar Award

Too Young To Escape published by Pajama Press won the inaugural Yellow Cedar award last year. This is the newest Ontario Library Association Forest of Reading readers’ choice award, where the kids do the voting. Usually the award itself is framed student artwork and is presented on stage with all the nominees on the stage. Last year it was all done virtually. Isn’t it awesome that we’re on the verge of doing this sort of thing in person again? Thanks,Meredith Gilbert Tutching for your dedication and flexibility in daunting times!
