An author near Banbury has said she is really proud to win three awards for her Christmas-themed children’s picture book.
Emily Lloyd-Gale was delighted that her book ‘The Moose That Saved Christmas’ was celebrated at this year’s Page Turner Awards.
The Barford St John writer from took home the ‘Best Illustrated Book’, ‘Best Children’s Picture Book’ and ‘Adaptation Needed for Animation’ awards for her 2023 release.
Having previously reached the finals of the CLF Book Awards and the Ink Book Prize earlier this year, Emily wasn’t sure what to expect at the Page Turner Awards event.
Emily said: “I couldn’t believe it when they read out my name for these awards. Having reached the shortlisted stage for the others, I wasn’t confident that I’d get any further, but am so happy that I can now call myself a three-times award-winning author!
“Both my books have been a labour of love, and I couldn’t have done it without the support of my husband, family, and of course my illustrator Lorna Humphreys.
“To see how much they’re being loved and enjoyed by so many makes me really proud. I hope they continue to be read for years to come.”
Inspired by her youth and experiences of bullying at school, Emily’s ‘The Moose That Saved Christmas’ tells the story of Maurice and his moose friends working together to try and save Christmas.
The Page Turner Awards are designed to give writers the chance to have their work read and shared by successful authors, industry professionals, and film producers.
