Michael Rosen selected as the winner of the 2021 JM Barrie Lifetime Achievement Award!

The winner of the award is annually selected by the Trustees of Action for Children's Arts. Speaking about this year's choice, Chair Vicky Ireland MBE said: 

'This award recognises Michael as a hugely talented and popular writer, and also as an outspoken supporter of Action for Children's Arts and of all we stand for with regard to so many things - especially the need for creativity and expressive arts in schools. After Michael's battle with Covid-19 last year, we are lucky to still have him with us, and believe this is a brilliant chance to celebrate his achievements and say thank you for his constant courage in speaking publicly for the sector.' 

Michael will be presented with the award in an online ceremony in autumn 2021.
