What is the Little Rebels Award for Radical Fiction?

The Little Rebels Children's Book Award is an award for radical fiction for children aged 0-12. The first ever Little Rebels Award was made in 2013. The award is given by the Alliance of Radical Booksellers (ARB) and is co-run/administered by Letterbox Library and Housmans Bookshop.

What do you mean by 'radical' fiction?

The Little Rebels Award is designed to recognise a rich tradition of radical publishing for children in the UK. 'Radical' is defined widely to include books informed by inclusive/anti-discriminatory concerns or those which promote social equality or social justice- for a full definition and for submission guidelines, see the wordpress site (below).
