Kate Greenaway Award Winners
Thoughts from some of the award winners
“As I live far from London, (about as far from London as it is possible to get,) I received the news of my book winning the Kate Greenaway Award by telephone. I was astonished, as astonished as I had been on hearing of its short listing some months before. Somehow I could not equate my picture book, cobbled together with bits of sticky tape among the jumble of pens and ink, crumbs and coffee cups on my desk with receiving such a wonderful award. As I sit here looking back on it, it is still difficult to think that Jethro Byrde has received such commendations.
Of course I had a wonderful time travelling over and being at the ceremony, meeting lots of people and taking part in it all. If my mind has a little scrapbook lodged somewhere in my head, then the images are all still there, in a dreamlike kind of way, pinned up with colourful thumb tacks into my memory.” (Bob Graham, 2006 interview.)
