Books on the longlist for the Jhalak Prize donated to school


THE manager of The Grove Bookshop in Ilkley, Mike Sansbury, was recently approached by publishers Simon & Schuster to be champions of the Jhalak Prize, which is presented annually for the best fiction and poetry by a Writer of Colour. He was given sets of the Adult and Children’s longlists and invited to donate them to a local school and library. The prize has been going for five years and previous winners include Guy Gunaratne, Renni Eddo-Lodge and Jacob Ross. Mike said: “We chose as our recipients Ilkley Library and Bradford Grammar School. On Tuesday I went to BGS to present two sets of the children’s longlist. Staff at the school were keen to add these titles to the library because they feel that the children need positive diverse role models. Not only does this mean that they can read about characters they identify with, but it also informs the way they write and the world they portray when doing so.”

"I Sang You Down From the Stars," by Tasha Spillett-Sumner, illustrated by Michaela Goade. (Little, Brown, $18.99, ages 4-8. In stores April 6.)
Inniniwak (Cree) and Trinidadian writer Tasha Spillett-Sumner draws on her Native heritage to tell a loving story of a mother and infant. "I loved you before I met you," she says. As the baby grows inside of her, the mother gathers significant objects — a feather, a pebble, a quilt — to give to her child. In January, Michaela Goade, who is Tlingit, became the first Native artist to win the prestigious Caldecott Medal (for "We Are Water Protectors"). Her dreamy watercolor and mixed media illustrations for this book swirl and sparkle with violet and blue swooshes and recurring patterns of stars. It is a gorgeous celebration of Native traditions.
