Next week the CBCA will announce their notable titles for 2020 and from this the short list will be released about one month later and then in August we will know the titles which have won from the five sections of this important competition. In this post I will focus on Picture Book of the Year. The other categories are Early Childhood Picture Book; Book of the Year for Younger Readers; Book of the Year for Older Readers; and the Eve Pownall Award for Non Fiction.
Members of the CBCA have access to the full list of titles submitted for the awards this year. I have combed through these and found 15 books I think or predict should or could or perhaps even must make the notables list. A few from the list of submitted titles appear in more than one list so I will share these later. You can think of the notables as a long list.
