I'm beyond honoured to receive the Shadow Judging Award in the Eve Pownall (non-fiction) category at the CBCA Book of the Year Awards, 2025.
To receive the vote from children themselves is beyond special, and it was pretty emotional to receive this award for a book that stole my heart.
As ever, a book takes a village and Flora would not have happened without my sensational NLA team - Lauren Smith, Amelia Hartney, Madeleine Warburton, Kath Kovac, Tricia Fitzgerald, and my amazing First Nations contributors. Mega thanks to artsACT for the grant that helped make this book possible.
Biggest thanks to the kids themselves! I'm absolutely thrilled Flora also stole your heart.
