Fresh of the back of not winning the Aurealis and CBCA Book of the Year Awards for Magrit comes news of one more Award shortlisting, and this time it's a beauty: the little book that almost could has been shortlisted for the Patricia Wrightson Prize for Children's Literature as part of the 2017 NSW Premier's Literary Awards.
The Prize, which attracts an award for (wait for it) THIRTY THOUSAND FREAKING DOLLARS, will be announced on 22 May, when I'll be lying in bed exhausted after running myself to death for the Asian Festival of Children's Content, so, you know, it might be pretty flipping good weekend, as weekends go......
For the full skinny, including the list of all shortlisted works across 11 categories, you can head over to the NSW Premier's Literary Awards page.
