Celebrating Our 2024 Blue Ribbon Book Selections
Each year, the esteemed Blue Ribbon Book Selection Committees, composed of specially selected panels of early childhood literacy experts from the U.S., Canada, the UK, Australia, and the Republic of Ireland, meticulously review hundreds of potential titles for inclusion in Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library. These committees take great care in selecting books that align with children’s developmental milestones as they grow, while also featuring titles relevant to their respective countries. The program offers books published by Penguin Random House alongside country-specific content.
