Celebrating children's books

In the coming weeks and months, the Today programme is trying to do its bit to highlight some of the great children's writing - and we want your help. There was a massive response to that interview with Frank Cottrell Boyce, the author of Millions, on Tuesday, and some of you were in touch to tell us about the Carnegie Medal for Writing. There is also a Carnegie Medal for Illustration.
