I WON AN AWARD 🏆😍😭

I’ve just been to the Lollies awards for funniest children’s books 9-12 category for 'How to Survive Time Travel' written by Larry Hayes and illustrated by your fave yellow haired weirdo! 🥹🌞

Katie Abey, a vibrant artist with bright yellow hair and a big smile, holding the Scholastic Lollies award for the 2024 Laugh Out Loud Book Awards. The trophy recognises the funniest children’s book in the 9-12 category for How to Survive Time Travel, written by Larry Hayes and illustrated by Katie.

So amazing to meet and share space with lots of amazing authors, illustrators, publishing humans and creative legends!

I thanked my cat in the speech and Larry did a cartwheel 🤣
