What we're up to
- Astrid Lindgren Memorial Award. – we're making a nomination for the 2012 award.
- Children's Literature Reading Group – meets three times a term.
- Child and the Book – a group of PhD students are participating in this conference in Oslo in April
- Words & Pictures Seminars – we've just finished another successful series with the Anglia Ruskin MPhils in Children's Book Illustration.
We're a friendly bunch, we love our subject, we don't bite – and we'd love to make new friends.
