Spork 2011 finalist; The Man with the Violin 2014 finalist; Footpath Flowers 2016 finalist;
In a Cloud of Dust 2016 finalist; My Beautiful birds 2018 finalist.

I am sure you recognise some or perhaps all of these.

The Marilyn Baillie Picture Book Award, established in 2006, honours excellence in the illustrated picture book format. The prize is awarded annually and in 2008, the cash prize was increased from $10,000 to $20,000. To be eligible, the book must be an original work in English, aimed at children ages three to eight, written and illustrated by Canadians. Eligible genres include fiction, non-fiction and poetry.
