The AAAS/Subaru SB&F Prizes for Excellence in Science Books celebrate outstanding science writing and illustration for children and young adults. The prizes are meant to encourage the writing and publishing of high-quality science books for all age groups. AAAS believes that, through good science books, this generation, and the next, will have a better understanding and appreciation of science.
The prizes began in 2005 by looking back on decades of outstanding science books and honoring five authors and one illustrator for their significant and lasting contribution to children's and young adult science literature and illustration. Beginning in 2006, the AAAS/Subaru SB&F Prize began honoring recently published, individual science books.
The prizes emphasize the importance of good science books and encourage children and young adults to turn to science books, not only for information, but for enjoyment too!
Please join us in Boston on February 16th to celebrate the winners of the 2013 prizes.
Thank you to our sponsor, Subaru, for their generous support of the SB&F Prizes.
