Sunderland writer, David Crosby, is celebrating success after bagging the Bishop’s Stortford Picture Book Award. His debut picture book, Pirates vs. Monsters, pitted him against a host of big hitters including the UK’s biggest selling author, Julia Donaldson, of The Gruffalo fame. But in an odds-defying triumph, Mr Crosby and the book’s illustrator Lee Cosgrove were crowned winners at a virtual ceremony earlier this morning. “I still can’t believe it,” said the author, 40, from Ryhope. “When I saw the other names on the shortlist my first reaction was to feel very proud to be in such esteemed company, and my second reaction was that I didn’t fancy our chances of winning.
A NORTH-EAST author is hoping for a FA Cup-style giant killing after his debut picture book was shortlisted for an award. David Crosby’s debut book, Pirates vs. Monsters, has been shortlisted for the Bishops Stortford Picture Book Award. The 40-year-old Sunderland author and former journalist is competing against eight others including ‘The Hospital Dog’ by former Children’s Laureate Julia Donaldson of ‘Room on the Broom’ and ‘The Gruffalo’ fame. A public vote will now decide the winner. Voting is normally restricted to primary schools in Bishops Stortford but due to the pandemic they’re opening it up nationwide and inviting schools to get involved too.
