The Harvey Award for Best Children's Book is an annual American award for comics and graphic novels. Per the Harvey Awards website, the award honors the "best long-form original graphic novel or collection presented for younger audiences."
The award was originally established in 2018 as the Harvey Award for Best Children's or Young Adult Book, but in 2024, the award was split into the awards for Best Children's Book and Best Young Adult Book.
In 2018, the Harvey Awards were revamped into six categories, recognizing works as opposed to individual creators as in previous years.
