"2014 New Zealand Post Book Awards
What special Kiwi gift can you give a small prince who is not even a year old? Specially inscribed Picture Books from the cream of New Zealand children’s authors — that’s what.
Prince George will be the recipient of the five finalists’ Picture Books for this year’s New Zealand Post Book Awards for Children and Young Adults, whose finalists are announced today. Each book has a personal message from the author to Prince George. 
The chair of the Book Awards Governance Group (BAGG) which oversees the Awards, Nicola Legat, says, “With this week’s Royal visit coinciding with the announcement of the finalists in the New Zealand Post Book Awards for Children and Young Adults, we saw an ideal opportunity to organise a booky gift for Prince George. The authors’ messages to the Prince are absolutely delightful and very personal to him.”
“Each year we will send Prince George autographed copies of the Award finalists. First the Picture Books as he’s so young, then he’ll receive the Non-Fiction and Junior Fiction. When he’s 13, we’ll send the autographed Young Adult Fiction books. By the time Prince George grows up, the Cambridge family will have a wonderful collection of New Zealand literature, all personally inscribed. We’re packing these books up now, and they will be waiting for him at Kensington Palace when he and the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge return home from this trip.”"
