The Boekenleeuw is a Flemish literary award for the best book in children's literature by a Flemish author. The award is given by Boek.be and the winner receives 2,500.

Bart Moeyaert has won the award six times.
Anne Provoost has won the award three times.

History

edit

The Referendumprijs voor Vlaamse kinder- en jeugdboeken award was established in 1962.[1] In 1986 this award was replaced by the Boekenleeuw and the Boekenwelp awards.[1]

The award was not given in 2017 due to reorganisation at Boek.be and due to reassessment of what awards the organisation would continue to support.[2] The award was given again in 2018 sponsored by association of authors, composers and publishers SABAM and GAU (Groep Algemene Uitgevers).[2]

Several authors have received the award multiple times, including Bart Moeyaert (six times), Anne Provoost (three times) and Diane Broeckhoven (two times). Jean-Claude van Rijckeghem and Pat van Beirs have also won the Boekenleeuw as co-authors on two separate occasions.
