I'm thrilled that the first #DrawWithRob book has been shortlisted for a Nibbie (a British Book Award - our equivalent of OSCAR, basically) in the Children's Illustrated & Non-Fiction category. What an honour! Massive congrats to my fellow shortlistees Rob McFarlane, Jackie Morris, David Olusoga, Katherine Rundell, Adam Kay, Steve Small and my UA stablemate Smriti Halls. It's lovely to share this moment with you guys. It’s doubly good news because Kate Rundell’s amazing Book of Hopes (to which I made a tiny contribution) is also shortlisted. Congrats, Kate!
Thanks to everyone who bought the book and to The Bookseller for considering it worthy of nomination. #BritishBookAwards2021 #Nibbies
