Sequoyah Book Award
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Sequoyah Children's Book Award is given each year to the book that is selected by Oklahoma students in 3rd-5th grades as their favorite. The Sequoyah Young Adult Award (renamed the Intermediate Award in 2010), which is voted for by Oklahoma students in 6th-8th grades, was created in 1988. In 2010, a new category, the High School Award, was added and is voted for by Oklahoma students in the 9th-12th grades. The Sequoyah Committee also selects the "Donna Norvell Award" for easy reader books, Pre-K-2nd grades. However, this award is chosen by the committee members and not by the students themselves. The Sequoyah Book Awards and the Donna Norvell Award are sponsored by the Oklahoma Library Association.
The award is named after the Cherokee man, Sequoyah, who developed the Cherokee syllabary and lived for a time in eastern Oklahoma, near Sallisaw.
