Penguin
Group (NZ) is delighted that Vasanti Unka’s The Boring Book, most
recently featured on the Storylines Notable Picture Book List, has been
nominated as a finalist in the 2014 New Zealand Post Children’s Book Awards for
Children and Young Adults.
The
Boring Book was
released in November 2013 with great success. This wonderful picture book, complete with lift-the-flap inserts, is as
ingenious as it is delightful, exploring the importance of books and words in a
fun and imaginative way. The Boring Book is NOT a boring book!
Vasanti Unka
is a designer and illustrator based in Auckland. She is the illustrator of The
Bean's Story, which was a 2008 Storylines notable book, and Hill &
Hole by Kyle Mewburn. Hill & Hole was shortlisted for the 2011
New Zealand Post Book Awards for Children and Young Adults.
It won the LIANZA
Russell Clark award the same year and was also the first children's book to win
the Gerard Reid Award for Best Book at the PANZ Book Design Awards.
