Anthony presented the Klaus Flugge Prize, a prestigious award for most promising newcomer to children’s picture books, in London this week. The prize was awarded to Jessica Love for Julian is a Mermaid, which Anthony described as: “an astonishingly beautiful book. It’s amazing to realise this is Jessica Love’s first attempt. She has quickly realised how picture books work - the understated words fit so brilliantly with the stunning illustrations, never getting in the way, never trying to do the same job. It’s a perfect picture book.”
