Neev Book Award 2018 Puts The Spotlight On Children's Literature In The Country

Going beyond just celebrating books, Neev Literature Festival 2018 includes the Neev Book Awards to recognise and appreciate quality children’s literature in the country.

The folks at Neev Academy clearly believe in going the extra mile when it comes to celebrating books and the love for reading. So, along with engaging sessions and workshops at their two-day Neev Literature Festival 2018, they have an initiative – the Neev Book Awards - that aim to recognise children’s literature in the country, a genre that has seen immense and impressive growth in the past few years.

Divided into three categories, the awards are an attempt to appreciate outstanding children’s books that focus on developing a fuller understanding of India while depicting Indian lives and stories. Formed based on children’s age, the award categories are Picture Books, Young Readers and Young Adults. This year’s shortlisted works include books by the likes of Rajiv Eipe, Venita Coelho and Paro Anand.
