New Zealand Book Awards for Children and Young Adults - Ceremony today at 5-30pm


New Zealand Book Awards for Children and Young Adults 2016 


 
In a few minutes I am off to Wellington to enjoy the New Zealand Book Awards for Children and Young Adults  being held later this afternoon at Circa Theatre. By 7.00pm we should know the outcome and a great collective sigh well go up from all the writers and illustrators and publishers involved. 
Some will be sighing with delight as winners – some with disappointment. 

Of course, everyone is a winner really so long as a child or young adult (or adult) somewhere is reading and admiring their words and images - shortlisted or not.

So it is off into the cold and wet of the Wellington winter - remembering to take my not always reliable iPhone  - with camera.

The sky is blue and the sun is shining up here on the Kapiti coast.



More tomorrow!
