In 1977, the NCTE Excellence in Children’s Poetry Award Committee was created to recognize the work of outstanding poets who write for children. Since then, in addition to naming an outstanding poet every two years, the committee now selects annual notable lists of poetry and novels in verse. This year, members of the committee are pleased to recognize 21 exceptional books of poetry and nine novels in verse as 2022 Notable Books. Each of the books was published in 2021.

Read and evaluated by each member of the committee, these books are notable for their use of language, poetic devices, and their application to children ages three to 13. The form or structure of the poems was evaluated to ensure that the mood and subject matter was accurately represented. This year’s selections include a range of formats, including poetic nonfiction, anthologies, biographies, and bilingual texts. Poets include familiar names and debut authors. For a list of past lists and other notable poetry resources, visit the NCTE website.
