Presented annually since 1967, the Boston Globe--Horn Book Awards are among the most prestigious honors in the field of children's and young adult literature. The winners and honor books, which were announced on June 6, 2011, are selected from three categories: Picture Books, Fiction and Poetry, and Nonfiction. Simmons College hosts the Friday evening awards ceremony with honoree acceptance speeches, a celebratory reception, and autographing of award-winning books.

Back by popular demand, on Saturday the second annual Horn Book at Simmons will bring together librarians, educators, and children's literature professionals to examine the Boston Globe--Horn Book Award winners. The day includes talks and speakers' panels exploring how books for children and teens engage real and imagined worlds. Small group sessions will engage participants in seminar discussions about reading, teaching, and thinking about the 2011 Boston Globe--Horn Book Award winners .
