The Heart of Hawick Picture Book Award is a very special award as only children can vote. It was great to see so many children take part and they had worked so hard in the build up of the event, making films and animations. I met some really lovely people. And what was even more amazing was that my book won the Picture Book Category! I was totally gobsmacked to have won, and I was really not expecting it so thank you! It made the 5am start from Epsom to Scotland all worth while! And thank you Lari Don (last year’s winner) for comparing the event so well! And thank you all the children for taking part and voting – you were fabulous too. Hope you are all inspired. x
