A closer look at four US authors among our nominated titles:
✨ Colored Television by Danzy Senna
A novelist on sabbatical in the Hollywood hills bets big on a risky reinvention for success, only to find ambition, identity, and compromise colliding in darkly comic ways.

One particularly exciting thing we are doing in children’s literature is having a talk by Dr Yevheniia Orestivna Kanchura from Ukraine to “discuss the role of fantasy in creating spaces for hope, community and connection in the midst of war”
