Much like the Rebecca Caudill list, Illinois also has a list called the Bluestem list. We are encouraged to read the twenty books on the Bluestem Nominee List. A panel of teachers, librarians, and kids nominate books to appear on the Bluestem list. A committee narrows nominees to 20 books. Kids have to read a minimum of three books on the list and then vote for the one they want. Books are for kids in grades 3 to 5.
