 Fantastic news for children's illustrator Carol Liddiment whose wonderful art for the book 'How Many Donkeys? An Arabic Counting Tale' has won the 2010 Middle East Book Award for best picture book! Congratulations to her and the authors Margaret Read McDonald and Nadia Jameel Taibah.

Here's a little more info of the award:
Established in 1999, the Middle East Book Award recognizes quality books for children and young adults that contribute meaningfully to an understanding of the Middle East and its component societies and cultures. Books are judged on the authenticity of their portrayal of a Middle Eastern subject, as well as on their characterization, plot, and appeal for the intended audience.

 Fabulous children's illustrator Maria Maddockss has recently completed a set of flash cards for children who are taking their first steps in learning Spanish. Maria's wonderful cut out paper style in vivid colours always goes down well, and this will surely make learning super fun. It even has a puzzle on the reverse! Be sure to check out more of her work on our website by clicking on her name.

 A big welcome to Steve Horrocks who his our latest signing! Originally from Merseyside, Steve moved to California with his wife in 1995 to work for a major feature animation studio and over the years has still pursued his passion for creating and illustrating on a personal level. Following great success in comics and animation, he has just finished his first childrens book and we think, with his beautiful drawings, that this is the beginning of a wonderful future in the children's market. Steve works digitally but likes to keep a traditional feel to his work.

Richard Johnson has recently been working hard on a fantastic new version of Alice in Wonderland. This timeless classic by Lewis Carroll, has been given a revamp with Richard's trademark style and rich colour, and is beautifully realised in 3D with it's glorious pop up pages.
