Congratulations to Jane Elson and Steve Tasane who are this year’s winners of the Biblio-Buzz Alexandra Palace Children’s Book Award (formerly Haringey Children’s Book Award).
Voted for by schoolchildren across Haringey, Jane’s novel ‘Will You Catch Me?’ received the Schools Award, while Steve’s book ‘Child I’ received the Library Award, voted for by children visiting Haringey’s libraries.
Alexandra Park and Palace Charitable Trust’s Creative Learning team and Haringey Library Services collaborated to deliver the award aimed at nine to 12-year olds, inspiring them to read and vote for their favourite book.
The winners were announced at a ceremony at the restored Alexandra Palace Theatre, hosted by Michael Rosen – one of Britain’s best-loved writers and performance poets.
