These awards provide an opportunity for children to thank the adults that have had a positive impact on their life.
Winning the Guardian prize is a wonderful reward for any writer. It is such a distinguished award, ... All authors want to know what other authors think of their books and they also like to know what children like, too.
I've written about domestic violence in my book, Lola Rose and it's a great relief to know that terrified children like Jayni, my fictional heroine can use the special website and find support and comfort.
wow it was sad the break up thing in xmas but in the end they got back together but the father soo hush to the children
I have this belief that children become readers before they can read. They become hooked on books because they were read aloud to as a child.
I try to have reasonably happy endings because I would hate any child to be cast down in gloom and despair; I want to show them you can find a way out of it.
I particularly like the fact that there is no set list of books. Whatever books children choose counts towards their tally for rewards. It's all about reading for pleasure.
