Dorothy Canfield Fisher was an educational reformer for both children and adults, social activist, and best-selling author in the early twentieth century. The Dorothy Canfield Fisher Book (DCF) Award was created to honor excellence in children’s literature. Each year since 1957, Vermont students in grades four through eight have selected their favorite book from a list of 30 nominees. It is recommended that students read at least five of the year’s nominated titles before voting. Voting takes place in the spring, generally beginning in April.
