Organized by British Columbia’s Young Readers’ Choice Awards Society, the fiction and non-fiction winners of the 2025-2026 Red Cedar Book Awards were announced on May 29. The goal of the program is to encourage students in Grades 4-7 to read more, to create an awareness of Canadian books and authors, and to develop a reader’s ability to judge published works. Deborah Kerbel's Iggy Included (Scholastic Canada) took home the fiction honour, while Mark Peck's Bird Eggs: A Young Naturalist's Guide (Firefly Books) won the non-fiction award.
