Presented up until 2004 when the 2003 awards were announced, the Mr. Christie's Book Award was sponsored by Christie Brown & Co., a division of Nabisco Brands Ltd. (and subsequently Kraft Canada) to reward excellence in the writing and illustrating of Canadian children's books. Initially awards were given in the categories of text and illustration for books written in French and in English, for a total of four awards. In 1993 the categories for text were divided into books for ages 8 and under and books for ages 9 to 14 to increase the number of awards to six. In 1994 the number of age groups was expanded to three (7 years and under; 8-11 years; and 12 years & up). In addition, it was decided that books should be judged on their content of text and illustration combined, i.e. Best Children's Book for each age group in each official language. Six awards of $7,500 each were presented.
