The Young Hoosier Book Award (YHBA) was established in 1974, and then expanded to three categories in 1992: Kindergarten through 3rd grade; 4th through 6th grade, and 6th through 8th grade. The Award is designed to encourage student reading by having students, teachers, parents, and media specialists identify 20 of their favorite books in each category, of which one winner is chosen in each grade division every year. Criteria for selection include requirements that book must be published within the last five years and be in print at the time of selection.
