The 2025 Pilot Competition

The very first Books From Children To Children competition invited children from across the UK to write stories celebrating Diversity, Inclusion and Imagination, inspired by the legacy of Benjamin Zephaniah. Twenty young authors were selected — their stories became Our Stories, Our World.
