@chickenhsebooks I'm not clear on how many words to submit for this: Either the first 1,500 words or the first three chapters of your novel (whichever is longest). Is it 1,500 or longer? My first three chapters are about 6,000 words. Thanks

@whatSFSaid @CarnegieMedals @DaveMcKean @DFB_storyhouse @peachjamcloset NIce one. Just finished reading it and see why it's been nominated. Good luck!

I love libraries & librarians. Tyger was largely written in my local public library. So it means the world to me that it's just been nominated for the @CarnegieMedals for both writing & illustration! Huge thanks to all librarians for championing children's books & reading!
