Booked Out is very proud of Craig Smith! He has been awarded the 2011 Euphemia Tanner Award. It is a biennial award presented by La Trobe University to recognise distinguished services to Children’s Literature and the encouragement of the joys of reading in children.
From the award: “Craig’s generosity to and humility around his fellow creators in the publishing industry is heartwarming and humbling. Children and teachers all around Australia have been lucky enough to work with Craig as he passes on a lifetime of knowledge about translating ideas into lively and engaging images.”
And we at Booked Out are lucky to have such a talented and gracious illustrator on our books.
