We are delighted to announce that on Thursday 9th October 2025, BIRDIE by J.P. Rose took home the Diverse Book Award for Best Children’s Book!
The Diverse Book Awards highlight the best diverse authors in the UK & Ireland and open a much-needed space to showcase and celebrate the talent of marginalised voices.
Previous winning titles from Andersen Press include Dadaji’s Paintbrush by Rashmi Sirdeshpande, illustrated by Ruchi Mhasane, Safiyyah’s War by Hiba Noor Khan and Cane Warriors by Alex Wheatle.
Huge congratulations to J.P. Rose!
