Celebrating the Best Children’s and YA Books
The National Book Development Board (NBDB) and the Philippine Board on Books for Young People (PBBY) announce the winners of the 8th National Children’s Book Awards (NCBA). The NCBA honors the best children’s and young adult books published in the previous two years.

The passion to develop children’s books in the country can be traced to Dr. Jose Rizal’s retelling of “The Monkey and the Turtle.” This was published in Trubner’s Oriental Record in London in July 1889. The third Tuesday of July is celebrated as National Children’s Book Day to commemorate the anniversary of its publication.
