The K-5 students have spoken and they have voted for their favorite Monarch and Bluestem books from the 2016 lists!
In grades K-2, “The Watermelon Seed” by Greg Pizzoli had the most votes, while the graphic novel, and April “Hooked on Books Club” book, “Sidekicks” by Dan Santat was the clear winner with students in grades 3-5.
We should know soon who the winners are for the state of Illinois.
