Boekenleeuw

The Boekenleeuw is a Flemish literary award for the best book in children's literature by a Flemish author.

[update] The Referendumprijs voor Vlaamse kinder- en jeugdboeken award was established in 1962.

[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).

Jean-Claude van Rijckeghem and Pat van Beirs have also won the Boekenleeuw as co-authors on two separate occasions.

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