Here I am with Kate Cheeseman (director), Marlon Yearwood (the actor who so brilliantly played Cameron) and Diane Kyle (producer) winning the BAFTA for Best Children’s Drama in 2000. Could my grin be any broader?
This is me winning the Children’s Book Award 2002 for Noughts and Crosses. What a thrill to win a prize voted for by over 20,000 children and young adults. I love, love, love music. I'm predominantly a jazz-funk/soul head but I like anything that doesn't give me a headache!! At the moment, I'm into Joe (what a voice!), Outcast (whose songs are constantly different and fantastic), Kanye West (genius), Lupe Fiasco (his song with Jill Scott is wonderful), Rob Thomas (not a single duff song on his Something To Be CD!), Maxwell (seriously soulful) and Nickelback (their 'Saving Me' video is amazing and 'How You Remind Me' is one of my favourite songs). Great stuff!! If I could have one selfish wish in this world, I'd wish I could sing. I’m currently learning to play the piano and I used to play the saxophone. My number one favourite activity however is reading – natch! To be honest, I read more children’s books than adult books, because I love stories with a strong, imaginative plot and interesting characters. Some of the books I've read recently that I loved are Holes by Louis Sacher, The Curious Incident Of The Dog In the Night time by Mark Haddon and The Tinder Box by Minette Walters. I'll read anything by Alan Gibbons, Catherine R. Johnson, Minette Walters, Benjamin Zephaniah and James Berry to name but a very few, as they're such fantastic writers. |
