Founded in 1998, the Giverny Award is annually presented to the best children's science picture book. The award-winning books, targeting readers ages 4-8, harmoniously integrate illustrations and the story's text, while addressing at least one important scientific principle. Therefore, the Giverny books have characters and plots and are stories that include science, as opposed to traditional elementary science books. Even when the Giverny books contain anthropomorphism or fantasy, the included science is sound, while the whimsy is important to interest and engages young children. This article provides science concept identification within the Giverny Award-winning books and suggestions for using the Giverny stories as elementary science and reading resources.
