Beehive Nominees 2010

The Children's Literature Association of Utah (CLAU) is a volunteer organization of individuals who have a personal or professional interest in children's literature. The organization's purposes are: to encourage the reading, study, and writing of children's literature; to provide a forum for all points of view and levels of experience in children's books; and to gather and share information about children's literature.

Winners are chosen from the nominated books by the children of Utah, who vote for their favorite books. We'll be taking votes, so keep your eyes open for the voting slips coming in the nominated books.
