Maud Hart Lovelace MN State Book Award

The Maud Hart Lovelace Book Award is a children's choice book award.  Its purpose is to encourage recreational reading among school age children.


"When I was ten my father, I hope at not too great expense, had printed a booklet of my earliest rhymes. Soon after, I started bombarding the magazines and sold my first story when I was eighteen."
-Maud Hart Lovelace
