Because the anthology is also designed to be a learning tool for up-and-coming children’s writers and artists, quotes from the judges – discussing the merits of each piece – are included at the end of each illustration and extract.
Working Partners Ltd, a London-based company that creates series fiction for children and teens, provided the financial support that made this anthology possible.
Congratulations to this year’s Undiscovered Voices writers and illustrators!
