Indian Paintbrush Book Award

Sponsored by the Wyoming Library Association and the Wyoming State Literacy Association, the Indian Paintbrush Book Award provides the opportunity for Wyoming youth in grades 4-6 to select a favorite book and honor its author. Its purpose is to help Wyoming students in grades 4-6:

  • Become acquainted with the best contemporary authors. 
  • Become aware of the qualities that make a good book. 
  • Set a goal to read at least three good books. 
  • To honor an author whose books Wyoming students have enjoyed.
