The short list is out!....and to all those who made it WELL DONE...and wonderful how you managed to keep your lips sealed for three weeks....
The amount of Wellingtonians on this list is incredible! (so what were those muttering s last year about Wellington being overrepresented in the judging panel....Just look at the short list this year!- it would be cheaper to fly the finalists down to Wellington...than the huge bill to fly all the Wellington people north...)
For the Spinning Gold Conference Team....hats off to the two finalists!!! And look how many of our speakers there are on that great list...Not to mention our own dear Patron of the Wellington Children’s Book Association-Jack Lasenby.
Judging the winners is going to be a tough job!
Go Here to see the New Zealand Post Children's Book Award shortlist for 2009
Congratulations Melinda (waving madly over the blogosphere)
My fingers are wearing out from the congratulations emails that I have been sending....
New Zealand should be celebrating the brilliance!!!
