The Monarch Award is Illinois's K-3 children's choice book award. The name Monarch was chosen because of its familiarity to primary children and to symbolize the growth, change and freedom that becoming a reader brings. The Monarch is designed to encourage children to read critically and become familiar with children's books, authors and illustrators.
