In the time of awards season, some of you may be wondering, why another children's book award? We've already mentioned that we seek to strike a balance with our awards, by finding the best in kid-friendly, entertaining, and worthy books for the youngsters.
But, there's another reason behind The Cybils. Many genres are overlooked during awards season, most notably Poetry, Graphic Novels, and Non-fiction. To that end, we seek to find the best books in a number of genres, giving equal attention to fiction and non fiction titles.
And, it has paid off. Forty books have made the long list for Non-fiction Picture Books and now we present 37 titles for Non-fiction (Middle Grade and YA). Mindy of Propernoun.net has coordinated this category and presents the list of nominated titles:

Just a comment on Peril and Peace - it is illustrated by Jonathan Williams as he is the cover designer.
