Kate Greenaway Medal
June 27, 2008 |
Emily Gravett’s whimsical Little Mouse’s Big Book of Fears is this year’s winner of the prestigious Kate Greenaway Medal, which was announced in London last night. |
Little Mouse’s Big Book of Fears is on this year’s Primary Focus list along with Meerkat Mail and Monkey and Me.
As reported on The Guardian website, Emily’s technique in the making of this book was rather unorthodox. The Guardian website also contains a set of eight of Gravett’s illustrations from all of her books to date.
A detailed background article about Gravett and her winning book is available on the CILIP website. You can also view the press release and the judges’ comments on the 2008 shortlist.
