Child's Play

Portsmouth Book Award 2012 short lists 'The Lost Stars'

Child's Play were delighted to have Hannah Cumming's beautiful picture book, 'The Lost Stars', shortlisted for the 2012 Portsmouth Book Award. Being short listed for any award is a great credit to the book, and in this case even more so as the titles are all selected by a judging panel made up of children!

The award itself is a greatly positive initiative run by the Portsmouth Library Service to promote the enjoyment of reading to young people and enthuse them about the wealth of fantastic children's literature currently available. They also hope to raise the profile of books and reading within the local community in general, and increase visits to local libraries. All in all a very positive project and one that we are extremely pleased to be involved in. Well done Hannah, and fingers crossed for the final winner's list!
