The British Book Awards Children's Book of the Year is a British literary award, given annually to works of children's literature as part of the British Book Awards (known as the Nibbies) . It was established in 1996, replacing the British Illustrated Children's Book of the Year and British Children's Author of the Year categories.
It is currently sponsored by W H Smith, although previously it has been sponsored by Red House (who also sponsor the Red House Children's Book Award). Previously called the "British Children's Book Award", it was renamed to Children's Book of the Year in 2010.
