Shadowers Challenges

This year’s Yoto Carnegie Medal for Illustration and Yoto Carnegie Medal for Writing shortlisted authors and illustrators have each set a challenge for Shadowers to get involved with. Check out the videos below in which they share creative ideas inspired by their shortlisted books for the Shadowers to try, from writing a rap, drawing your ideal home and writing from the perspectives of characters in the books, to creating a giant jellyfish and writing a story in poems. There are tons of great ideas to get your Shadowers engaged with the 2024 shortlists and to inspire creativity!
