Booktrust Early Years Awards

Winner of the Best Picture Book for Children Up to Five Years Old was Chris Wormell with his ONE SMART FISH (JONATHAN CAPE), a brilliant telling of the story of evolution through one very intelligent fish, who, more than anything else, wants to walk upon the land.

 

I LOVE MY MUMMY (Orchard Books) won Best Book for Babies Under One Year Old. Written by Giles Andreae and illustrated by Emma Dodd, it tells of the tender relationship between mother and child through witty and touching rhyming text.

- Levi Pinfold picked up the award for Best Emerging Illustrator for Children Up to Five Years Old with THE DJANGO (TEMPLAR PUBLISHING), a tale inspired by the life and work of jazz musician Jean 'Django' Reinhardt.
