Mariella Frostrup presents a Children's Laureate special. Malorie Blackman, Dame Jacqueline Wilson and Michael Rosen discuss the role of the Children's Laureate.
Children's Laureate Special.
First created in 1999, the position of Children's Laureate is awarded every two years to an eminent writer or illustrator of children's books and designed to celebrate outstanding achievement in their field while thrusting them into the limelight to champion young reading.
The current Children's Laureate Malorie Blackman, along with two former Laureates Dame Jacqueline Wilson and Michael Rosen discuss the role, from the joys of inspiring children to read to dealing with politicians. They explain how they put their own stamp on the job and its on-going legacy
