The winners and honor books, announced on June 6, 2011, are selected from three categories: Picture Books, Fiction and Poetry, and Nonfiction.

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.
