On Tuesday, the Ontario Library Association announced its 2020 (that's nominated in 2019 but awarded in 2020)
nominated titles for the Forest of Reading book award programs. It's always an exciting time of year for readers and authors and illustrators and publishers and teachers and librarians...but this year the announcement will be even more special as a new look for the Forest of Reading is implemented. It's clean and fresh and heralds a new season of reading with a new award, Yellow Cedar. With ninety titles nominated, I've broken them down into three posts on
CanLit for LittleCanadians Awards page or you can visit the Ontario Library Association's Forest of Reading page at
