Yet more students and graduates of the MA Children's Book Illustration programme at Cambridge School of Art are forging reputations in the children's publishing industry. Current student, Nicola Killen, who is just beginning the final Masters Project module, has signed a lucrative contract with our partner publishers, Egmont UK, for her book Not Me which was developed as her submission for the Diploma Project.

Pick of the recent graduates is Kazuno Kohara, a 2007 graduate, who has just received rave reviews in the New York times for her first picture book 'The Haunted House,' published by MacMillan Children's Books. Faye Durston has also signed up with MacMillan after something of a bidding war between them and other publishers.

Others with newly published books on show at the Frankfurt Book Fair include Simon Prescott, Alice Wood and Celia Biscoe (Little Tiger Press), Ellie Sandal and Simon Wild (Egmont), Algy Hall and Katie Pamment (Boxer Books).
