Each year the Association for Library Service to Children (ALSC) recommends and compiles a list of current books for children and their families including Summer Reading Lists and Día Lists in English and Spanish.
The Massachusetts Book Awards recognize significant works of fiction, nonfiction, poetry, translated literature, graphic novel/memoir, and children’s/young adult literature written, illustrated, or translated by current Commonwealth residents.
The books that appear in these lists were selected as outstanding children's science trade books. They were chosen by a book review panel appointed by the National Science Teaching Association (NSTA) and assembled in cooperation with the Children's Book Council (CBC).
