The book by Ghilherme Karsten and published by Happy Yak, has been announced as BookTrust’s Storytime book of the year for children under the age of five.
The awards, which are voted for by librarians and families, are now in their fifth year.
Reflecting on the win for Are you a Monster?, Guilherme said, ‘Winning this award is like a dream come true. It's a celebration of the power that books have to be a source of learning, connection and fun – lots of fun.’
The awards form part of the charity’s Storytime programme, which is designed to support children experiencing disadvantage. It also aims to encourage families with young children to visit libraries and ‘begin their reading journey’. This year the programme was run in over 2,500 libraries in England and Northern Ireland.
