Charlie and Lola creator Lauren Child certainly has a lot to live up to with her new role as Children's Laureate. Previously filled by children's literary greats such as Julia Donaldson and Jacqueline Wilson, Child will receive funds to help promote children's books.

As many authors find, success was hard to find in the first instance with many publishers turning down her books. But Child pressed on and, in 2000, received major success as the creator of the fabulous Charlie and Lola books.

As the new Children's Laureate she will seek to inspire children to discover the magic of stories.

With such a fantastic remit, I will certainly be watching her progress with interest.
