Posted: Friday Nov 03, 2023

Storylines Children’s Literature Trust Te Whare Waituhi Tamariki o Aotearoa is delighted to once again celebrate excellence in New Zealand publishing for children and young adults with the announcement of this year’s Storylines Notable Book Award winners.

These awards are selected from books published between 16 November 2022 and 15 November 2023.

“Congratulations to all the creators and publishers of this year’s award winners," says Storylines Trust chair Christine Young. "These are impressive lists of excellent books in all categories; testament to the strength and depth of local children’s and young adult publishing.
“Clearly the commitment from New Zealand publishers and authors to producing quality books for young people remains strong, and I’d commend these lists of award winners as providing excellent choices for whānau or friends looking for Christmas gift ideas, or for teachers and librarians looking to add to their school or early childhood centre libraries. It is so important that our tamariki and rangatahi enjoy reading – and equally important that they have access to high quality books that reflect and broaden their experience of growing up in New Zealand.”
