Our Reading Champions have been given the privilege of shadowing the judging process for the shortlisted illustrators in the Carnegie Book Awards 2025.

This experience allows our young readers to follow along with the official judging process as ‘shadowers’, giving them a voice in celebrating outstanding children’s literature and illustration.
