#CKG22 Awards at British Library. Great to meet shortlistees @philearle@absolutelywrite@ManjeetMann and huge congratulations @katyabalen! And double celebration finally meeting 2020 fellow shortlistee @DeanAtta and judges. Thanks everyone...
Brilliant to be able to celebrate #CKG22 despite some of the 'lows and woes' chair extraordinaire @JL_Horan7 spoke about so engagingly which have characterised the year. A real treat that 2021 judges were finally able to meet in person too!
🎉 Congratulations to the 2022 Winners of the Yoto Carnegie and Kate Greenaway Medals and Shadowers' Choice Awards: @katyabalen @DNovgorodoff and Mariachiara Di Giorgio! #CKG22
Finally taking stock of a fantastic #CKG22. So proud to have been part of this awesome judging team. Huge thanks to @JL_Horan7 for leading #Chair
Fabulous day
