This is an award voted on by students, only – similar to the Colorado Blue Spruce Award, but it’s geared toward elementary students. Students also nominate the books for each year's list. The criteria for a school participating in the vote is that the entire school must have a minimum of three of the books nominated. The vote takes place in March.
While I think I've heard about this special dog from Iraq, I didn't realize that the book Nubs existed. I'll have to see if our library has it.
