Historical Association

✨ Celebrating Stories That Ignite Young Imaginations ✨ The Young Quills Award by the Historical Association UK shines a spotlight on historical narratives that might otherwise be forgotten or overlooked. These stories inspire, educate, and ignite curiosity in young readers, fostering a lifelong love of history and storytelling. This year, we are thrilled to celebrate The Most Famous Rhinoceros by Dianne Hofmeyr and illustrator Simona Mulazzani as a winner of the 2024 Young Quills Award! 🏆🌍 Their work brings history to life, exploring fascinating narratives and inspiring young minds to ask big questions. As Dianne shares: “Sometimes a person needs a story more than food to stay alive.” The Young Quills Award honours this truth by keeping history alive in the hearts and minds of the next generation. 📚💡 Let’s continue to share the stories that matter. What historical tale has inspired you or your children recently? Let us know in the comments! #YoungQuillsAward #HistoricalFiction #InspiringYoungReaders #Storytelling #HistoryMatters
