And as most of you Potter fans have expected, she won the award which was voted by over 55, 000 children. The awards were presented as part of Children’s Book Week which is the longest running literacy event in the country. It was sponsored by the Children’s Book Council. The said program was created to provide young readers an opportunity to voice their opinions about books written for children and with the results, it would help develop a reading list that will motivate children to read.
