Best Of Submissions

The BEST OF co-sponsored lists submission process closed on July 8, 2022. Submissions for the 2024 Best Of lists will open next summer.

The BEST OF lists are educator and student-targeted, and aim to be a helpful resource in and outside of the classroom. The Children’s Book Council accepts submissions for our annual co-sponsored lists every June.  Each list has different requirements and shipping deadlines, so please read carefully the Call for Submissions for each list to prepare for next year’s title submissions.
