Prairie Pasque Award - Grades 4-6
The Prairie Pasque Children's Book Award, sponsored by the South Dakota Library Association, is determined by
fourth, fifth, and sixth grade students throughout the state. Students are encouraged to read and vote for their
favorite book of the year from the masterlist of twenty titles. The book receiving the most votes from students
wins the award. Books nominated for the award are selected by a committee of educators and librarians.
Fourth, fifth, and sixth grade students who read at least five books from the masterlist are eligible to vote. A
student may vote only for a book that he/she has read. Voting takes place at participating schools in early
March. The book award committee tallies votes from all participating school and announces the winner during
National Library Week in April.

books for adolescents. The books are selected from among the many young adult and adult books that have received
positive reviews by national reviewing periodicals. YARP committee chair Katherine Eberline.
