2026-2027 Texas Bluebonnet Award List

Each year, 20 books are chosen by a Texas Library Association committee of school and public librarians for the Texas Bluebonnet Award List. The list includes titles for grades 3 – 6. Students around the state are encouraged to read a minimum of five books from the list. In January, those students vote for their favorite title. The author of the book receiving the most votes wins the Texas Bluebonnet Award, which is presented at the TLA Annual Conference in the spring.
