Our Book of the Week has just won the Margaret Mahy Book of the Year award at the New Zealand Book Awards for Children and Young Adults.
Bomb by Sacha Cotter and Josh Morgan is set firmly in Aotearoa. This summery, exuberant tale will resonate with any child who has ever tried to do something that scares them. The detailed, artful illustrations are as joyous and assured as the story they capture. The unwavering love and encouragement of the child’s Nan illuminates a strong and convincing message about being yourself and having the courage to do things in your own way.
