Next year she won the Greenaway Medal for the first Charlie and Lola book, I Will Not Ever, NEVER Eat a Tomato.

Her timing was good, for a bequest by Colin Mears had provided a £5,000 cash prize to supplement the medal beginning that year.

2000

Child introduced Charlie and Lola in 2000 with I Will Not Ever Never Eat A Tomato and won the annual Kate Greenaway Medal from the Library Association for the year's most "distinguished illustration in a book for children".

2002

She won a second Smarties Prize in 2002 for That Pesky Rat, which was commended for the Greenaway too.

Charlie and Lola is a series of picture books made by Lauren Child and was later adapted into a children's TV show.

Each half-hour format show contains two segments with different plots, each starting off with Charlie saying, "I have this little sister, Lola. She is small and very funny."

Charlie was based on her boyfriend, Soren, who used to wear shirts just like Charlie's, but with his name on it.

Lola was based on a pixie-looking girl Child saw on a train who was with her parents, a young couple, and kept bombarding them with questions.

Soren Lorenson was based on Lauren's boyfriend's sister's "better" imaginary brother, and so Soren Lorenson became Lola's imaginary friend.
