Our Amesbury TV crew had the privilege of attending the book awards seminars at Te Papa on Wednesday.

Here they are photographed with Author/Illustrator Craig Phillips who kindly donated his graphic novel - ‘The adventures of Jack Scratch’ to our Library.

His previous graphic novel ‘Giants, Trolls, Witches, Beasts’ recently won the Russell Clark Award for Illustration at the Children’s book awards last Wednesday.

It was an honour and a great experience for the children to meet and talk with him.
