Wilson has created some of the U.K.\u2019s best-loved children\u2019s characters, and many of her works have gone on to become BAFTA-winning and nominated screen adaptations, including <em>The Story of Tracy Beaker<\/em>,<em> The Dumping Ground<\/em>,<em> Hetty Feather<\/em>,<em> Girls in Love<\/em>,<em> Double Act<\/em>,<em> Dustbin Baby\u00a0<\/em>and<em>\u00a0<\/em><em>The Illustrated Mum<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>Helen Blakeman, the chair of the BAFTA Children\u2019s Committee, said, \u201cJacqueline Wilson\u2019s impact on children\u2019s media has touched and inspired both audience and industry alike, with popular characters such as\u00a0Tracy Beaker\u00a0and\u00a0Hetty Feather\u00a0providing the inspiration behind much-celebrated, long-running series and single-event pieces. Behind-the-scenes, Jacqueline has played an integral role in this process, allowing broadcasters and creators both the freedom and support necessary to adapt her stories into award-winning and often ground-breaking television. With this year marking the 15th\u00a0anniversary of the\u00a0<em>Tracy Beaker<\/em>-inspired drama series, there is no better time than now to award Jacqueline as 2017\u2019s Special Award recipient.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Wilson remarked,<em>\u00a0<\/em>\u201cI\u2019m so pleased and proud to be given this very special award.
