Frances Plumpton has been a convenor and judge of both the LIANZA (Library and Information Association Aotearoa) and New Zealand Post Children's Book Awards.
The Library and Information Association of New Zealand Aotearoa established the first local children’s book award in 1945, namely the Esther Glen Award for Fiction. Other LIANZA awards followed including the Russell Clark Award for Illustration in 1975, and the Elsie Locke Non-fiction Award in 1986. The Te Kura Pounamu Award for literature written in Te Reo Mäori was established in 1996, in partnership with Te Rōpū Whakahau.
From 1982 the New Zealand Literary Fund, based in the Department of Internal Affairs, administered the separate Government Publishing Awards for the New Zealand Children's Books of the Year. This award ran until 1988 until its sponsor, the Government Printer, was privatised and withdrew.
Two years later, the AIM Children’s Book Awards were established as part of a Children’s Book Festival by Unilever New Zealand. In 1997 they became the New Zealand Post Children’s Book Awards for Children and Young Adults. New Zealand Post was principal sponsor until 2014.
In 2016, these awards merged with the LIANZA Children’s Book Awards. Awards are made across six categories, with names incorporating the previous LIANZA award names.
