The Quarto Group picks up Illustrated Book award for the second
year at Waterstones Children's Book Prize
Frances Lincoln Children's Books, an imprint of The Quarto
Group, has won the Illustrated Book award for the second year in a
row at the Waterstones Children's Book Prize. This year's winner is
There's a Tiger in the Garden by Lizzy Stewart. She was joined at
the ceremony last night in Waterstones Piccadilly by our last
year's category winner, David Litchfield.
Lizzy says, 'I'm so honoured and overwhelmed to even have been
nominated alongside such a fantastic and inspiring group of authors
and illustrators. To win was such a lovely surprise and one that I
don't think I'll recover from for a few weeks!'
Jenny Broom, Associate Publisher of Frances Lincoln Children's
Books, says, 'After 12 months of amazing support from Waterstones
and the whole book trade, we are thrilled and stunned to have won
the illustrated category for a second year running. Lizzy Stewart's
There's a Tiger in the Garden is an extraordinary debut and we are
delighted to be working with her on her next book.'
Marcus Leaver, Chief Executive, The Quarto Group, added 'We
couldn't be more pleased to have won this award again. It has been
a key strategic objective of Quarto to grow our footprint in
children's publishing in the last few years and we are very proud
that this is now one of our areas of excellence. We have a truly
talented and creative team at Frances Lincoln Children's Books led
by Rachel Williams and Jenny Broom and this award is just the start
of the recognition they deserve.'
We will be doing continued marketing activity for There's a
Tiger in the Garden throughout the year, plus a series of events
nationwide.
