Big Box Little Box Shortlisted for Klaus Flugge Prize 2018

Big Box Little Box is illustrated by the hugely talented Edward Underwood. An experienced designer, Edward is half of the brilliant duo at Lisa Jones Studio in Lewes.  

This is Edward's first picture book and guess what? It's been shortlisted for the Klaus Flugge Prize for debut picture book illustrators!

The awards will be judged by:

Waterstones Children's Laureate and creator of Charlie and Lola, Lauren Child

Designer and art director Goldy Broad

Foyles Head of Children's Books, Charlotte Colwill

and Francesca Sanna, winner of last year's prize for her beautiful book, The Journey

The panel will be chaired by Julia Eccleshare, director of the children's programme of the Hay Festival. and the shortlist will be announced on 16 May.  

The Klaus Flugge Prize is supported by the Association of Illustrators

Wish us luck!
