Presented annually since 1967, the Boston Globe-Horn Book Awards are among the most prestigious honors in the field of children's and young adult literature. The winners and honor books, announced on June 6, 2011, are selected from three categories: Picture Books, Fiction and Poetry, and Nonfiction. The event at Simmons College includes the awards ceremony with speeches from the honorees, followed by an autographing session and a celebratory reception.

Back by popular demand, our second annual Horn Book at Simmons colloquium will bring together librarians, educators and children's literature professionals to examine the Boston Globe-Horn Book Award winners. This day-long event includes talks, panel discussions and small group sessions to explore how books for children and teens interpret the world for young readers as well as new strategies for bringing young people and books together.
