The Sheffield Children's Book Award is run by the Sheffield Schools Library Service and children who use our community libraries can read and vote for their favorite books from the shortlist too.
650 children from Sheffield schools and education settings attended the ceremony along with the shortlisted authors and illustrators. The event was hosted by Joanna Adeyinka-Burford (from CBeebies) and attended by local dignitaries including the Right Worshipful, the Lord Mayor of Sheffield, Councillor Colin Ross. Afterwards we held "meet the author and illustrator" events which were attended by children from local schools.
