Candlewick Titles Sweep UK's Most Prestigious Children's Book Awards

Maggot Moon won the Carnegie Medal (equivalent of the ALA's Newbery Medal)
By Sally Gardner, $16.99, 978-0-7636-6553-1

Black Dog won the Kate Greenaway Medal (equivalent of the ALA's Caldecott Medal)
Written and illustrated by Levi Pinfold $15.99, 978-0-7636-6097-0

The UK's most prestigious award for children's writing, since it was established in 1936 the CILIP Carnegie medal has been won by some of the greatest names in British children's literature, from Arthur Ransome to CS Lewis and Noel Streatfeild. Winning is "just unbelievable", said Gardner - particularly for a novel she never thought would be published. There's a great Q&A with the author on the Publishers Weekly site.
 

Illustrator Levi Pinfold won the CILIP Kate Greenaway medal for only his second picture book, Black Dog, in which a little girl, Small Hope, faces down a huge black dog. Pinfold, who beat names including Helen Oxenbury, Jon Klassen and Emily Gravett to take the prize, said that winning was "fantastic", and that he "couldn't use the words 'over-the-moon' less lightly".

"If you're looking for a quick-fix, this isn't it. But the method of preserving, storing, and preparing eats that our long-ago ancestors discovered may be just what we need to combat our eating evils."
