Award year

2002 Texas Bluebonnet Award

Because of Winn-Dixie by Kate DiCamillo won the 2002 Texas Bluebonnet Award, chosen by the votes of Texas children in grades three through six. Students spent the 2001–2002 school year reading from a master list that a Texas Library Association committee had put together, 20 books in all, and then cast ballots for the one they liked best. Other titles on that year's list included A Lucky Thing, Abbie Against the Storm and Boss of the Plains. All of them appear below as nominees alongside the winner.
