Frances Lincoln Children’s Books, an imprint of The Quarto Group, has won the Illustrated Book award for the second year in a row at the Waterstones Children’s Book Prize. This year’s winner is There’s a Tiger in the Garden by Lizzy Stewart. She was joined at the ceremony last night in Waterstones Piccadilly by our last year’s category winner, David Litchfield.
Lizzy says, ‘I’m so honoured and overwhelmed to even have been nominated alongside such a fantastic and inspiring group of authors and illustrators. To win was such a lovely surprise and one that I don’t think I’ll recover from for a few weeks!’
Jenny Broom, Associate Publisher of Frances Lincoln Children’s Books, says, After 12 months of amazing support from Waterstones and the whole book trade, we are thrilled and stunned to have won the illustrated category for a second year running. Lizzy Stewart’s There’s a Tiger in the Garden is an extraordinary debut and we are delighted to be working with her on her next book.
