Winners John Dougherty and Laura Hughes
Oscar?s Book Prize was set up by James Ashton and Viveka Alvestrand in memory of their son, Oscar, who passed away age three from an undiagnosed heart condition. Each year, the prize aims to award the best book for under-fives that?s been published in the last 12 months. Now in its fifth year, the award is supported by Amazon, National Literacy Trust and the Evening Standard. Commenting on the award, panel judge Brigitte Ricou-Bellan said, ?It was remarkable to see the swell of enthusiasm and quantity of quality submissions for Oscar?s Book Prize this year. Early years literacy is a key building block in a child?s development and we are incredibly proud to be supporting this cause once more. Congratulations to John Dougherty and Laura Hughes.?
