There are awards a-plenty at the minute – and yesterday was no exception.

The Sheffield Children’s Book Award announced their winners for 2009 (it was a long, shortlist that made for some tough decisions).

Congratulations and fireworks are more than due to the folks at Little Tiger Press who picked up the gong for best picture book (and over-all winner) with Smelly Peter the Great Pea Eater. The Mum Shop (Ceci Jenkinson) and Bog Child (Siobhan Dowd) took home a gong each to boot!

And it gets better – the folks at Sheffield City Council are already looking for your recommendations for next year… Yup. Fancy a book to win an award? Get nominating!
