Today, the Ontario Arts Foundation announced the 2015 nominees for the Ruth and Sylvia Schwartz Children’s Book Awards that recognize artistic excellence in writing and illustration in English-language Canadian children’s literature. The awards will be selected by two juries of young readers, this year from Alexander Muir/Gladstone Avenue Junior and Senior Public School, Toronto, Ontario. Five students from Grades 3 and 4 will select the award-winning book for the Children's Picture Book Award, and five students from Grades 7 and 8 will select the Young Adult/Middle Reader Book Award recipient.
