Children's booksedit
Manning is best known for his long-term collaboration as a writer and co-illustrator with his partner the illustrator and painter Brita Granström.[1] In 1998, The Scotsman newspaper wrote, "Mick Manning and Brita Granström's approach to non-fiction for younger children has revolutionised our bookshelves."[6]
Awards and recognitionedit
Manning and illustrator Brita Granström began making children's books together in 1993. Their first combined effort (The World Is Full of Babies) won the Smarties Silver Prize (years 0-5) in 1996.[7]
Later recognitions include the Times Education Supplement Award; five Royal Society Junior Science Book prizes; and The English Association Non-Fiction Award (2000, 2005, 2008, 2011, 2014).[1]
Topicsedit
The 2014 Royal Society Junior Science Book prizewinner book, Charlie's War Illustrated addressed some of the World War I experiences of Manning's grandfather. His book Tail End Charlie also addressed wartime adventures, this time featuring Manning's father.[1]
The duo's book How Did I Begin was part of a controversy in 2011 when some segments of English society objected to literature aimed at pre-school children which included explicit explanations of how human conception occurs.[8]
