Advertising creatives awarded ABDA Children’s Illustrated Book of the Year with ‘Mike I Don’t Like’

‘Mike I Don’t Like‘ illustrated by Jon Foye (MJW), written by Kate Burt (GPYR) and Jol Temple (BWM Dentsu) has been awarded Children’s Illustrated Book of the Year at this year’s Australian Book Design Awards.

Judges cited the work as “engaging and dramatic with its very effective use of scale and space on each spread.” The Australian Book Designers Association went on to say that the “pastel palette works brilliantly with the boldness of the black and white. The playful hand-drawn type throughout marries perfectly with the illustrations and adds so much personality.”

Mike I Don’t Like’ is available in bookshops nationally.
