Tundra Books won its first award in 1967 for I Once Knew an Indian Woman by Ebbitt Cutler and since then we have continued to produce quality books for children which, to our great pleasure, continue to win prizes. And in addition to the prizewinners there are also those books that deserve an honorable mention. You'll find on this page a list of such titles.
