Hughes has won the 2003 CILIP Kate Greenaway Medal for her
book 'Ella's Big Chance: A Fairy Tale Retold', it was announced
today.
Hughes, who is one of the UK's most popular picture book
creators, won her first Kate Greenaway Medal in 1977 for 'Dogger'.
Shirley Hughes studied at Liverpool School of Art and the
Ruskin School of Art in Oxford before embarking on a career
as a freelance artist.
Her first book as both author and illustrator, 'Lucy and
Tom's Day' was published in 1960, since when she has published
over 50 picture books. In 1999 she was awarded the OBE for
her distinguished services to children's literature.
Sister award to the CILIP Carnegie Medal, it is judged
by an expert panel of children’s librarians, and follows
the same unique process of nomination, and judging.
Since the bequest left in 2000 by children’s book
and illustration collector, Colin Mears, the winner receives
a cheque for £5000 in addition to the coveted medal.
Both the Carnegie and Kate Greenaway Medals are awarded
annually by CILIP: the Chartered Institute of Library and
Information Professionals. The 2003 winners will be announced
at a celebrity led ceremony at the British Library on Friday
9 July 2004.
