Three books are shortlisted and put into Bookbug bags which are given to every Primary 1 child in Scotland. The children then vote on their favourite book. This is the reason that the prize is so amazing, every child gets three books to read and to keep. Scottish Book Trust are amazing at getting books into the hands of young readers and I'm really proud that The Station Mouse gets to be a part of that this year. Huge thanks to everyone at Scottish Book Trust.
You can read about the other amazing books shortlisted this year here and there's a video of each author reading their story.
