BUMPFIZZLE THE BEST ON PLANET EARTH by Patricia Forde, illustrated by Elina Braslina, has been awarded a White Raven by the International Youth Library.
This is the most prestigious international award for children’s books. Patricia’s previous book, THE WORDSMITH, previously won a White Raven (and Little Island have just published its sequel, MOTHER TONGUE).
