[livejournal.com profile] 50books_poc favourite (the statistics that [livejournal.com profile] rachelmanija posted a while ago proved it) Shaun Tan has been awarded the Children's Book Council of Australia Book of the Year for Older Readers 2009 for Tales from Outer Suburbia.

I haven't read it yet, but I will read it soon. (It *does* contain both text and pictures by Tan.) I'm thrilled by his win (his second - The Arrival was Picture Book of the Year at some point, and I'm almost certain The Red Tree and The Lost Thing were Honour Books in their respective years of publication) and thought that the comm would want to know.

Yay, Shaun Tan! I'm enjoying Tales in small doses, since each story is very different from the next.

hooray! it's such a great book. (i think i still prefer _the arrival_, but then, i prefer _the arrival_ to 95% of everything i've ever read.)
