We’ve just heard that Stone Underpants by Rebecca Lisle with illustrations by Richard Watson has been shortlisted for the EOCT/SLS Picture Book Award 2018, which is an award for the community surrounding the Wakefield area.
 Three top titles were chosen by KS1 children across 6 schools, from out of 180 possible picture books. Stone Underpants is one of the three!
The winner will be announced at a big book event on Thursday 28th June at Ossett Academy, near Wakefield. Fingers crossed!
Stone Underpants will be one of four Maverick picture books distributed in the US in a hardback edition from this September by Lerner Publishing.
