The Panda Book Awards have been running since 2008. Pupils in English speaking schools in China read and vote for their favourite recently published books from the given shortlists.
"Titles chosen for the shortlists of the Panda Book Award meet selection criteria that focus on social justice, diversity and inclusion by up and coming authors and illustrators from across the world. There is an added spotlight on titles that feature Asian settings, characters or creators." - Panda Book Awards Steering Committee
Seven shortlists are included in the awards, each of which focus on different ages:
Pupils will undertake activities and discussions in school related to the books and so are encouraged to read as many as possible. The age ranges given are a guide, and pupils may choose which list(s) to read. This is especially useful if a pupil is on the border of an age group.
The print books will be available in our school libraries after the summer, in addition to digital copies via Follett Destiny (available soon). Pupils and their parents are also able order copies through Obido.
熊猫图书奖自2008年开始举办。在中国的英语学校里上学的学生会阅读给定的入围书单，并从中投选出他们最喜欢的新书。
“入围熊猫图书奖名单的书有一定的选择标准，主要关注来自世界各地的新兴作家和插画家笔下的社会正义、多样性和包容性。具有亚洲背景、亚洲角色或亚洲作者的书备受关注。” - 熊猫图书奖指导委员会
该奖项包括七个入围名单，每个入围名单都针对不同的年龄段：
学生将在学校参与和这些书籍相关的活动和讨论，因此我们鼓励学生尽可能多地参与阅读。给出的年龄范围仅供参考，学生可以选择要阅读的列表。如果学生处于某个年龄段的边界，这点尤其管用。
除了通过 Follett Destiny图书馆系统（即将推出）提供的电子版本之外，我们学校的图书馆会在夏季以后提供印刷版本。学生及其父母也可以通过欧贝豆订购这些书籍。
