We're delighted to announce the launch of the 2019 Stratford-Salariya Children's Picture Book Prize.
Entries are welcomed from authors who have a wonderful story to tell that is suitable for children aged 0-5, or from illustrators who can create charming images for that age group.
Author submissions will be judged on the quality of the story.
Illustrator submissions will be judged on the quality of the images and with a lesser focus on the quality of the story.
We also welcome stories with illustrations from author-illustrators or author and illustrator pairs.
This is a hair-raising new story to celebrate the 70th birthday of the National Health Service, Oliver Twist’s 180th birthday, James Phipps’s* 230th birthday, and the great Edward Jenner’s* 270th birthday next year. Ah yes, and the imminent 40th birthday of slaying the Speckled Monster (smallpox) once and for all (we hope).
Monday 30th April sees the start of the Luna and the Moon Rabbit blog tour. The author and illustrator of the Stratford-Salariya Picture Book Prize-winning title, Camille Whitcher, will be sharing insights into her creative process and the wonderful Moon Rabbit story on a range of different blogs. The tour dates can be seen above.
International Women's Day 2018 is here! As the event's official website states, this is 'a global day celebrating the social, economic, cultural and political achievements of women. The day also marks a call to action for accelerating gender parity.' The occasion will be marked by events taking place around the world.
