Reinstate Kate Greenaway's name on CILIP illustration award, a statement by Dr Rose Roberto and Tamsin Roswell, petition creators

I agree with all the sentiments in this partition. Having a buddy author illustrator daughter, I want her to have something to aspire she can connect with. Something she can relate to.

Ridiculous! Bring back Greenaway's name!

Kate Greenaway deserves more recognition.

It would be a travesty to discontinue use of Kate Greenaway's name in connection with this prestigious award. In this day and age, we cannot afford the name of another accomplished woman to be cast aside - especially one who has inspired generations of children ... and illustrators!

Please reinstate the medal in the name of Kate Greenaway, a true illustrator.

Yoto does audio books.

What is the objection to Kate Greenaway? That she is only some woman who drew stuff? Look at the list of winners proud to have accepted the award. Why destroy the value of the award for commercial considerations.

This is an appalling violation of the original Library Association's pride and joy, rightfully celebrating a wonderful artist from the past

Who is Yoto in the field of illustrators and writers? Bring back the right name.

Stop selling history

Greenaway’s erasure was venal and underhanded. Make amends yeyquickly!

Please bring back the Kate Greenaway medal!

Keep the Greenaway name for the award

Reinstate as The Kate Greenway award

Disgraceful

Please reinstate Kate's name. So important for her memory, for women and for the illustrators whise wirk we cherish.

What did Carnegie or Yoto ever illustrate?

Please keep Kate Greenway’s name on this award - having an industrialist seems antithetical to what illustrators hold dear.

Let's celebrate illustrators by removing the name of the woman honoured since 1955 in the name of the award with a man.

Exceptionally disappointing from CILIP in sidelining the name of such a distinguished woman illustrator.
