<p>Patti Smith has been honoured with a National Book Award in the US for her children&#8217;s book.</p>
<p>The former punk rocker became tearful as she accepted the non-fiction prize for Just Kids, a bittersweet look back to New York City in the 1960s.</p>
<p>Patti offered an old-fashioned tribute to books. She begged publishers not to let the printed page die in the electronic age and recalled working decades ago at a Scribner&#8217;s bookstore, stacking the National Book Award winners and wondering how it would feel to win one.</p>
<p>&#8220;So thank you for letting me find out,&#8221; said Patti, 63.</p>
