Popular children’s writer Joe Craig — author of the Jimmy Coates series — presented the prizes to the young winners of medical charity Shaare Zedek’s storytelling competition, run in association with the JC.

The successful child writers were Jessica Ebner-Statt, Ella Olins, Joshua Collins, Rachael Berger, Jessica Ansell and Ethan Cohen. The winning entries have been collated in a book, Inspirations, with the proceeds going towards the purchase of a neo-natal incubator.
