Parag Honour List is a curated collection of outstanding books for children and young adults in English and Hindi. Published annually by the Parag Initiative of Tata Trusts, this list comprises of noteworthy books of the year, with brief information about each title. It is created with careful screening and multiple reviews by an independent jury, comprising of experts in the children’s literature sector.
First launched in January 2020 at the New Delhi World Book Fair, PHL has had 4 rounds. The most recent list, PHL 2023, was launched in February 2023. A total of 184 books and 19 publishers in English and Hindi feature across the years. These are all original poetry, fiction and non-fiction works, organized age wise for early readers, young readers and young adults.
As a comprehensive curation, PHL aims to serve as an easy reference list for teachers, parents and children. Parag works with schools, libraries, bookstores and literature festivals to promote access to the list, and bring good quality children’s literature closer to its readers.
