Two Nosy Crow titles shortlisted for the 2019 UKLA Book Awards!

The shortlists for the 2019 UKLA Book Awards have been announced today – and we’re absolutely thrilled that two Nosy Crow books have been recognised!

Now in their 11th year, the UKLA Book Awards are the only awards judged by active classroom teachers – it’s a great honour to be shortlisted.

Stardust, written by Jeanne Willis and illustrated by Briony May Smith, has been shortlisted in the 3-6 category.

A wonderfully moving tale about the importance of being true to yourself, with magical illustrations, Stardust is a perfect bedtime picture book. Here’s a look inside:

And Running on Empty, by S.E. Durrant, has been longlisted in the 7-11 category! A beautifully told story of unorthodox families, grief, adolescence and running, The Sunday Times called Running on Empty “lyrical, moving and realistic”. Here’s a look inside:

Congratulations Jeanne, Briony, and Sue!
