Bilson Prize: Pamela Porter

I missed this one, but you probably did too. In October the Children's Book Centre awarded the 2006 Bilson Prize (for historical fiction for children) to Pamela Porter for a Prairie historical novel called The Crazy Man. Same book also won the TD Children's Book of the Year prize -- the one with the $20,000 purse, so Pamela Porter is doing well by that work. Good for her.
