BLUEBONNET BOOKS
The Texas Bluebonnet Award is a unique program of the Texas Library Association that encourages reading for pleasure and is aimed at students in grades 3-6. Each year, twenty books are chosen as the Texas Bluebonnet Award Master List by a committee of children’s librarians from all over Texas. If students read a minimum of five books from the current master list (or have the books read aloud to them), they have the opportunity to vote for their favorite title during the month of January each year. The author of the book receiving the most votes statewide is declared the winner of the Texas Bluebonnet Award. All 3- 5th grade students at Jollyville Elementary are encouraged to read at least 5 of the nominated Bluebonnet Books in order to participate in the statewide voting process.
