The Golden Wizard Book Prize

I am incredibly delighted to share some very exciting news… Lizzy is Busy has become an award-winning book! ✨

The Golden Wizard Book Prize is a prestigious children’s book awards program recognising only the best children’s literature worldwide.

Thank you to Louise and the team at the Golden Wizard Book Prize for choosing Lizzy is Busy as a winner and for making this whole experience truly magical!

Receiving a stamp of approval from a well-respected awards program is an absolute honour and still feels very surreal. This has been an amazing experience that I have been blessed to share with my family, friends, and incredible illustrator, Emily. Thank you to everyone who has supported us in this endeavour. 💛

If you had told me six months ago that by the end of 2023 Em and I would have an award-winning self-published book being read by families around the world I would have told you that you were dreaming… Well, what a dream come true!

“I absolutely loved this book! As the parent of a neurodivergent child, I found it to be one of the most informative children’s books on the subject that I’ve ever read.
Not only is it beautifully written, but it describes my daughter so well that I felt like the author knew her personally. I couldn’t wait to share this book with her so she could see herself in Lizzie and feel understood and empowered.

The main character is very endearing and I have no doubt children will want to read all about her again and again. As a result, it will help others better comprehend neurodivergent children and be more accommodating of their needs.
Paired with rhyming prose that flowed smoothly throughout the entirety, it was altogether a book that blew me away with its brilliance, and one that I feel should be in every school and home worldwide!”
