Penguin Young Readers, the Children’s Book Council, and Every Child a
Reader are partnering for the *3rd Annual Anna Dewdney Read Together Award* in
honor of the late Anna Dewdney (1965-2016), author and illustrator of the
beloved Llama Llama series.

After the initial round of nominating has produced a list of six very
deserving finalists, the Children’s Book Council is asking *librarians,
teachers and booksellers* across the country to vote for the winner for the
first time! (A select committee chose past winners.)

Voting will run from *Feb. 28 to March 28*and an online ballot is now
available. The winning author and illustrator will receive a prize of
$1,000 from Every Child a Reader, and Penguin, Dewdney’s publisher, will
purchase and donate 250 copies of the winner’s book to a school, library,
or literacy organization of the winner’s choice.

The 6 finalists in alphabetical order are:
*Drawn Together*, by Minh Lê; illus. by Dan Santat
