Turning the page on his love of reading, Canyon Ranch Elementary Fourth Grade student Abhijith Raghavan has been selected to present the 2024 Bluebonnet Award to the winning author at the 2024 Texas Library Association Conference. CRE Librarian Carolyn Davis nominated Raghavan for this honor, and his selection marks a significant chapter in the school's history. The Texas Bluebonnet Award is one of the most prestigious children’s choice literary awards in the United States. Each year, 20 books are chosen for the Texas Bluebonnet Award Master List. Schools and libraries around the state participate in the program, encouraging students to read a minimum of five books from the list. In January, students vote for their favorite title. The author of the book receiving the most votes wins the Texas Bluebonnet Award, which Raghavan will present at the TLA Conference in San Antonio in April.
