You know their words, you know their pictures ... but do you know their faces? We were very privileged to be at the New Zealand Book Awards for Children and Young Adults last week, and here are a few of the familiar faces we met there. All photography by and copyright Lindsay Keats. All bad photo-shopping by Sarah Forster.
