This year’s Carnegie Medal for Illustration and 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 creating three dimensional cards, creating superhero outfits, drawing an entire cast of animals, and exploring local surroundings to then write about. There are tons of great ideas to get your Shadowers engaged with the 2025 shortlists and to inspire creativity!
