The CLEL Bell Picture Book Awards recognize five picture books related to one of the five early literacy practices: read, write, sing, talk or play. These books provide excellent support of early literacy development in young children, serve as a collection development, program planning, and early literacy information resource for librarians, educators, and caregivers.
The 2016 CLEL Bell Awards Committee is now taking title suggestions. To suggest a title, you can go to the CLEL website and fill out the form.
