Two Nosy Crow titles nominated for the CILIP Carnegie and Kate Greenaway Awards

The nomination lists for the 2018 CILIP Carnegie and Kate Greenaway Awards have been published today, and we’re absolutely thrilled that two Nosy Crow books have been recognised for the prizes!

The CILIP Carnegie and Kate Greenaway Medals are the UK’s oldest children’s book awards, and are judged solely by librarians. The CILIP Carnegie Medal is awarded for an outstanding book written in English for children and young people, and the CILIP Kate Greenaway Medal is awarded for an outstanding book in terms of illustration for children and young people.

Troll Stroll, illustrated by David Barrow (and written by Elli Woollard), has been nominated for the CILIP Kate Greenaway Medal.

Congratulations, David and Christopher – and good luck!
