The Booktrust Lifetime Achievement award celebrates the work of an author or illustrator who has made an outstanding contribution to children’s literature. The award has been running since 2015 with previous winners including Shirley Hughes, Judith Kerr, Helen Oxenbury and the late John Burningham.
This year’s winner Jan Pienkowski has over 150 books to his name, including providing the artwork for the Meg and Mog series, written by Helen Nicoll (till her death in 2012) and David Walser.
He is also recognised as one of the pioneers of the pop-up book, in particular the picture book the Haunted House, for which he holds the Kate Greenaway Medal.
