Update...

Great success for Freya Blackwood!  She has been presented with the Kate Greenaway Award for best illustrator in 2010.  Her stunning illustrations for the picture book Harry & Hopper written by Margaret Wild, were judged to be the winner in this year's event. Very well deserved and I'm looking forward to seeing so much more of Freya's talent in years to come.

Congratulations!

Three cheers to Freya Blackwood for her well-deserved place on the shortlist for the Kate Greenaway Medal 2010.
Freya has illustrated Margaret Wild's beautiful story Harry & Hopper with great sensitivity and understated charm. This is evident in all her illustrated books.
My fingers are crossed for a Freya Blackwood win at the end of June 2010.
