The Prix Albertine Jeunesse is a reader’s choice award based on the vote of young readers aged 3 to 11 years old, who cast their votes for their favorite book from a collection of Francophone youth literature available in English translation. The prize seeks to reinforce the practice and love of reading in both French and English. Students enrolled in accredited French schools and public bilingual/dual language schools in North America are voting. The selection committee includes the staff of Albertine Books, the AEFE network of North America, Villa Albertine, the French Institute for Culture and Education, and the French Embassy in Canada. The selected books are divided into three categories according to age groups: 3-5 years; 6-8 years; 9-11 years.

The Prix Albertine Jeunesse is presented by Albertine Books, the French Institute for Culture and Education, the Cultural Services of the French Embassy in Canada, and the Agency for French Education Abroad.

The Prix Albertine Jeunesse is open to the network of accredited French schools (AEFE-FISNA) and American public schools with a French section/program.
