Hello
The winners were announced at lunchtime today of the Kate Greenaway and Carnegie Medals. One of our very own librarians, Rosie Scotting, was on the judging panel and has read all of the nominated books.
The winner of the Carnegie Medal is Bog Child by Siobhan Dowd. The book is aimed at children aged 12 and over (so that includes me then) and is set in 1980's Ireland. It's the story of a young boy who finds the body of a child buried in a bog, set again the backdrop of a very troubled time in Irish history.
The winner of the Kate Greenaway Medal is Harris Finds His Feet by Catherine Rayner. The book is aimed at children aged 3 and upwards (that include me again!) and is the story of Harris, a very small hare with big feet.
You can get more information on all the nominated books from the web link above. And if you want to read the winning titles, or any of the nominated books you can borrow them from your local library.
Until next time
Suzanne
