My @NewStatesman Children's books coming soon, but this is my Picture Book of the Year. PJ Lynch's The Snow Queen and 'Twas the Night Before Chriustmas are gorgeous too. But Stopping By Woods on a Snowy Evening is heart-stopping.
I wait for years for a children’s novel as good as Wolfstongue @LittleIslandBks - this is an exceptional debut by Sam Thompson, previously long-listed for the Booker. Don’t miss it if you have a child of 8-11. RT
Wolstongue @SamThompsonUK @LittleIslandBks is truly remarkable debut for 8+ children. The writing is first-rate, deeply concerned with language and naming, as well as magic and wildness. The author was long-listed for Booker and deserves prizes galore for this.
