This year's Goldfinch award winner is I Feel a Foot by Maranke Rinck

Selection criteria for the ICCA:
The Iowa Association of School Librarians has added the Goldfinch Award as an award given by PreK-3rd grade students in the state of Iowa. In the past the Iowa Children¹s Choice Award, Iowa Teen Award, and Iowa High School Book Award have been very popular. This award extends what is already being done by the IASL to encourage children to read more quality books, provide a positive dialogue about books, and give recognition to those who write books for children.
Books are added to the list from student nominations and reviewed by Goldfinch Award committee members.
