Sean Taylor, the author of a childrens book refused a children's book prize 
stating:

"Being on the short list for the 2007 Nestlé Children’s book Prize is a significant 
honour for me, especially since so many children around the country have 
been involved in choosing the winning books. And I am delighted to accept the 
award offered to me. 

However, because of questions surrounding Nestlé’s marketing of breast-milk 
substitutes, I do not feel able to accept the prize money. 

This has not been a decision I have taken lightly. It has involved 
conversations with Baby Milk Action (a campaign group against Nestlé), Nestlé 
themselves, and an authoritative third party with experience in the field (who 
wishes to remain nameless)."
