Maud Hart Lovelace Nominees,
2009-2010
Maud Hart Lovelace was a Minnesota author who grew up in Mankato, Minnesota.
Her Betsy-Tacy books tell of her childhood in the town she calls "Deep
Valley." Each year since 1980, the year of her death, there has been a
Minnesota reading contest for third through eighth graders. A committee
comprised of teachers and librarians selects the titles for the contest each
spring, and students read the books on the list during the following school
year. Students vote on their favorite book from the list and on April 25, the
anniversary of Maud Hart Lovelace's birthday, the winner of the Maud Hart
Lovelace Book Award is announced.
