Last Friday The Tall Man and the Twelve Babies written by my nephew, Tom, and his mother, Kilmeny and illustrated by me, was awarded a prize in the CBCA Awards for 2011.
All the books and award-winners can be found here.
Tom and I were thrilled to have received an award, and Kilmeny would have been as proud as Punch of her talented son.
Thank you to the publishers Allen & Unwin who believed in this funny story and were totally supportive.
I'd like to acknowledge the dedicated work from the members of the CBCA who have done a magnificent job in encouraging and extending the reading habits of children. Also to our fantastic teachers/ librarians who promote reading and work tirelessly for good literacy standards.
Nicola from Swallowcliffe School in South Australia has sent me a photo of herself dressed up as a Book Week character. She has chosen The Tall Man. Doesn't she look fabulous!
Well done Nicola! I'm sure the kids were delighted!
