2023 Monarch Nominees

Below are the 20 books that have been nominated by educators throughout the state as candidates for the 2023 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 read as many Monarch nominees as possible.  Our students will vote in March, and the statewide winner will be announced later that month.
