Indie Book Awards Book of the Year – Children's

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Indie Book Awards Book of the Year – Children's is a prize category in the annual Indie Book Awards (Australia) presented by Australian Independent Booksellers.[1]

The award was established in 2016. The works considered for this award were originally included under the scope of the Indie Book Awards Book of the Year – Children's & YA from 2008-2015. In 2016 that award was split into two separate awards (Indie Book Awards Book of the Year – Children's and Indie Book Awards Book of the Year – Young Adult).
