The announcement that ‘Maddy Yip’s Guide to Holidays’ was shortlisted for Lollies Book Awards 2024 was made while I was actually on MY holiday – so I treated myself to an extra flake in my 99.
This is so much more than about being chosen for an award. It means that all that time spent crafting words and sentences to make them funny actually worked, and that I am making kids laugh, which is pure magic. Thanks to everyone at Lollies, and all the kids that’ll be judging. Enjoy the lols!
