The Yoto Carnegies are long-running UK children’s book awards – they recognise outstanding reading experiences for writing and illustrating in books for children and young people. The Yoto Carnegie Medal for Illustration is the award for an outstanding book in terms of illustration for children and young people. More information is available on the Yoto Carnegies web page.
In the library we are fortunate to have a number of the books which have won this illustration award in recent years.
- Nguyen, T. and Zdung, J. (2023) Saving Sorya: Chang and the sun bear
- Pinfold, L. (2011) The black dog
- Reynolds, J. and Novgorodoff, D. (2020) Long way down: the graphic novel
- Smith, L (2017) There is a tribe of kids

We encourage all illustration and design students to borrow and read the books. Check them out to see the style of illustration, and how the illustrations enhance the stories.
