We need your reviews! Writing reviews is a great way to practice writing skills and give you the opportunity to tell the world what you thought about that great book that you just read.
We are posting your reviews beside the Fiction and Non-Fiction Nominee titles. Take a look at Reviewed By and send us your reviews to redcedaraward@gmail.com so they can be posted on our website!
To help the Society promote the Red Cedar Book Awards, we are putting a call-out for you to join the team!

Look forward to hearing from you!!! Please email redcedaraward@gmail.com Thank you.
Hi Everyone! We have been slowly and steadily working on the website to bring you more up-to date content and an enhanced navigation experience. Over the next few weeks, we will be adding more content and doing a bit of tinkering. If you have book reviews to submit, please send them along so we can add them to the website and our social media.
Thank you for being part of, and supporting, the Red Cedar Book Awards!

Hey Red Cedar Family!
We know that this year has been strange, and that this week, many kids are going back to school buildings for the first time in a long, long while. And because of this, we will be keeping voting open until Sunday, June 7th, in order to make sure that classrooms, and leaders have enough time to get votes in.
Thanks for your patience while we continue to update the way things are working.
We look forward to seeing all those votes! And don’t forget that you can still leave a review on those books that you have read!
Hello Red Cedar!
We have a lovely treat for all of you! Author, and friend of the Red Cedar Awards, Anne Renaud, create a video about her nominated book Fania’s Heart.
We hope that through this video, you get to enjoy a little more information about Fania’s Heart, and can feel a little more connected to the author.
Anne Renaud is also in a podcast, which can be found here.
Enjoy, and happy Reading!
Hello Red Cedar,
Like all of you, we’ve had to switch some stuff up this year because of things far beyond our control. Because we know that some of your Groups and classes will be working from very different spaces – hopefully spaces that look and feel a lot more like home – we will be changing our voting timeline to give you all more time to get comfortable with your new normal.
Voting now ends on Sunday, May 31st, and the Winners will be announced on Monday, June 15th!
As Red Cedar is the ultimate battle of the books, your votes determine who the winners are! So choose wisely!
Happy Reading everyone!
