2021 Monarch Nominees

Below are the 20 books that have been nominated by educators throughout the state as candidates for the 2021 Monarch Award.  The award is given to a book appropriate for students in grades K - 3.  At RCES, we set a goal that the individual classrooms in grades
​1 - 3 will complete the Monarch Challenge by making sure that their students get to hear all of the 20 Monarch Nominees.  Our students will vote in March, and the statewide winner will be announced later that month.
