The Hackmatack Children’s Choice Book Award is a literary program designed for young readers and based in Atlantic Canada.
Each year, thousands of children in grades four to six read from the vis mere selection of outstanding Canadian books and vote for their favourites.
The award is designed after similar successful programs in Ontario (The Silver Birch Award) and British Columbia (The Red Cedar Award).
Just as other provinces have chosen names of well-known trees in their regions for their reading programs, the name of the Hackmatack program comes from a tree commonly found in Atlantic Canada, also known as a tamarack or larch.
The Hackmatack Award was established with young readers in mind and serves to achieve the following objectives:
to promote and advance reading and literacy among school-aged children in Atlantic Canada
to foster the development and appreciation of writing in both of Canada’s official languages, through a reading program
to encourage a greater official public recognition of the work of Canadian writers
The Hackmatack Selection Committee nominates renowned Canadian books for young readers to the Hackmatack shortlist. The forty books nominated for the Hackmatack Award are divided into four categories – English Fiction, English Non-fiction, French Fiction and French Non-fiction.
Children in registered reading groups read the nominated books and vote for the winners of the award in the spring of each year. The winners of the Hackmatack Award in each category are announced at the final award ceremony in May. vis mindre
