Whilst, we were in Singapore, I was delighted and humbled to receive news that Alice-Miranda at Camp had received the Honour Book Award in the Fiction for Younger Readers Category of the KOALA Awards. Here is a link to our acceptance speech – filmed on top of the hotel!
Did you know that every year, young readers from all over New South Wales judge their very own children’s book awards? The KOALA awards acknowledge the books which have most inspired, amused, terrified, enlightened and engaged the readers. Thank you to all who voted and congratulations to the other deserving recipients. Perhaps you can ask your school librarian if your school can participate in the awards in 2017!
