Everything you wanted to know about The Boy with Flowers in His Hair...

Things are over for another year here at OBP! However, we’re still far too excited about our winner to wrap things up just yet.

There is so much we could say about this fantastic book - but of course, the very best people to do that are our incredible judges.

As such, without further ado, here’s why they chose it in their own words!

Thank you so much once again to Dapo Adeola, Benji Davies, Cressida Cowell, Viveka Alvestrand and Lisa de Meyer for choosing such fabulous books throughout our judging process.

However - their expertise doesn’t just stop at choosing books (or, of course, writing and illustrating them). It turns out that our judges are dab hands at reading them, too! Please enjoy this year’s very special, Jackanory-style reading of The Boy with Flowers in His Hair, brought to you by our judging panel, and our Patron, HRH Princess Beatrice.
