Nothing can inspire a love of storytelling and breed enthusiasm for reading and writing in young children better than a high-quality picture book. Our Picture Book category was open to any picture book aimed at learners aged 0–5, published in the period 1 April 2017 to 31 August 2018.
Lizzy Stewart teaches illustration at Goldsmiths University and has also taught courses at the Tate and on behalf of the National Portrait Gallery. She has written and illustrated two books for children, the first of which, There’s a Tiger in the Garden, won the Waterstones Children’s Book Prize for Illustrated Books in 2017.
“This book is a joy to read! The rhyme scheme works perfectly, rolling off the tongue, whilst a playful sense of humour brings joy to every page. The story asks us to consider how we treat others whilst also spreading an important message about inclusivity and celebrating difference. The illustrations are brilliantly composed and there’s plenty to spot on repeat visits too.”
“Numerous smart touches make this a great tool for understanding language as well as shapes, and the scratchy pen and ink drawings form a pleasing contrast to the brightly coloured characters. Full of motion and energy!”
“This story is filled with kindness and generosity with rich and decorative illustrations that give the text a classic folk story feel.”
