Random House New Zealand is thrilled to announce that last night The Moon and Farmer McPhee, written by Margaret Mahy and illustrated by David Elliot, was chosen as the Book of the Year at the New Zealand Post Children's Book Awards in Auckland. This book was also the winner of the Best Picture Book category.
The Moon and Farmer McPhee is the light-hearted story of a grumpy farmer whose animals keep him awake at night by dancing and singing to the light of the moon
Somehow, that reminds me of a favorite nursery rhyme!
Three other Random House books were also finalists:
Fleur Beale's Fierce September
Anna Mackenzie's Ebony Hill
James Crampton and Marianna Terezow's The Kiwi Fossil Hunter's Handbook
Fierce September won the Young Adult Award.
Warmest congratulations to Random House, and all the authors.
