You know their words, you know their pictures … but do you know their faces? We were very privileged to be at the New Zealand Book Awards for Children and Young Adults last week, and here are a few of the familiar faces we met there. All photography by and copyright Lindsay Keats. All bad photo-shopping by Sarah Forster.
