The Hampshire Picture Book Award is an annual award given to works of children's literature published in paperback during the previous year. The award is judged by children in Year 1 and run by Hampshire County Council's School Library Service. The shortlist is announced in January each year, and the winner announced in April.

Will serve almost as well about Vermont,

The Vermont mountains stretch extended straight;
New Hampshire mountains curl up in a coil.”
