The South Dakota Children's Book Awards are our own annual "kids' choice" literature awards. The books are chosen to encourage reading and fill information gaps. Divided by reading level - Prairie Bud (PreK-1st), Prairie Bloom (2nd-3rd), and Prairie Pasque (4th-5th)- students vote on nominated titles to find THE BEST BOOK in SOUTH DAKOTA! In less than an hour, we'll showcase all 30 2026-2027 titles across the Bud, Bloom, and Pasque categories with SDCBA BINGO! We'll also discuss ways to build excitement around these books, potential programming, and refresh your reader's advisory toolkit. This session will leave you inspired - and ready to share these books in a whole new way.
