  • Nagroda Im. H. Ch. Andersena Nagroda
    Nagroda im. H. Ch. Andersena Nagroda za wybitne zasługi dla literatury dla dzieci i młodzieży Co dwa lata IBBY przyznaje autorom i ilustratorom książek dziecięcych swoje najwyższe wyróżnienie – Nagrodę im. Hansa Christiana Andersena. Otrzymują ją osoby żyjące, których twórczość jest bardzo ważna dla literatury dziecięcej. Nagroda ta, często nazywana „Małym Noblem”, to najważniejsze międzynarodowe odznaczenie, przyznawane za twórczość dla dzieci. Patronem nagrody jest Jej Wysokość, Małgorzata II, Królowa Danii. Nominacje do tej prestiżowej nagrody zgłaszane są przez narodowe sekcje, a wyboru laureatów dokonuje międzynarodowe jury, w którego skład wchodzą badacze i znawcy literatury dziecięcej. Nagrodę im. H. Ch. Andersena zaczęto przyznawać w 1956 roku, w kategorii Autor, a pierwszy ilustrator otrzymał ją dziesięć lat później. Na nagrodę składają się: złoty medal i dyplom, wręczane na uroczystej ceremonii, podczas Kongresu IBBY. Z okazji przyznania nagrody ukazuje się zawsze specjalny numer czasopisma „Bookbird”, w którym zamieszczane są nazwiska nominowanych, a także sprawozdanie z obrad Jury. Do tej pory żaden polski pisarz nie otrzymał tego odznaczenia, jednak polskie nazwisko widnieje na liście nagrodzonych. W 1982 roku bowiem Małego Nobla otrzymał wybitny polski grafik i ilustrator Zbigniew Rychlicki. Nagroda im. H. Ch. Andersena w 2022 r. Kolejnych zwycięzców nagrody im. Hansa Christiana Andersena poznamy wiosną 2022 podczas targów w Bolonii. Na długiej liście nominowanych, na której jest aż 66 nazwisk z 33 krajów – 33 pisarzy i 33 ilustratorów znaleźli się Marcin Szczygielski oraz Iwona Chmielewska. MARCIN SZCZYGIELSKI Marcin Szczygielski jest znanym polskim pisarzem, dziennikarzem i grafikiem. Jego prace były publikowane m.in. w Nowej Fantastyce czy Newsweeku, a jako dziennikarz swoją karierę związał również z tygodnikiem Wprost oraz miesięcznikiem Moje mieszkanie, którego był redaktorem naczelnym.

Story good. Story simple. Story even human can understand. Tok Tok Tok! Back Cover Text Cicada has worked for the company for seventeen years – always finishes work perfectly; does unpaid overtime; is never offered promotion; has no access to office bathroom; sleeps in office wallspace; humans don’t like cicada; told to retire; climbs to top of building and ... This stunning open-ended text is a philosophical exploration of the culture of work but also of society. It traverses themes such as belonging, alien- ation, corporate bureaucracy and work, difference and prejudice, sub- mission to control/freedom, transformation/metamorphosis, resurrection and regeneration. Shaun Tan’s publisher describes the book as: ‘A dream of escape, a com- mentary on corporate slavery, a multi-layered allegory—Shaun has taken the humble cicada and created a mythic fairytale of magic, menace and wonder.’ Justin Ratcliffe, co-managing Director, Hachette B&P 15 November 2017 Shaun Tan is partly concerned here with Kafka’s nightmare of bureaucra- cy which, like many other concepts swirls together in a tantalising soup of ideas.

  • Books All Children Should Read – As Recommended by Michael Morpurgo
    Books all children should read – As recommended by Michael Morpurgo Early Years and KS1 The Twits, by Roald Dahl (Puffin, £4·99) Mr and Mrs Twit pass the time playing nasty tricks on one another. They're both horrid. In his hairy beard, Mr Twit "was always able to find a tasty morsel to nibble on". Burglar Bill, by Janet and Allan Ahlberg (Puffin, £4·99) "I'll 'ave that," is the catchphrase of the rogue who stars in this engaging and beautifully illustrated tale. When Bill accidentally burglarises a baby, it turns out to be a blessing in a stolen basket. "Runfrit, Boglaboll!" The Tiger Who Came To Tea, by Judith Kerr (HarperCollins, £5·99) The story of a tiger that eats its hosts out of house and home. Where the Wild Things Are, by Maurice Sendak (Red Fox, £5·99) When Max engages in mischief, he is sent to bed without his supper. That's just the start. The Tale of Samuel Whiskers, by Beatrix Potter (Frederick Warne, £4.99) Tom Kitten learnt nothing from his parents about the consequences of curiosity. Abducted by a rat, he comes within a whisker of being turned into a pudding. Yertle the Turtle, by Dr Seuss (Collins, £4·99) Yertle, king of the pond, commands all the turtles to stack themselves up so he can be top of the heap. Someone's riding for a fall. Fungus the Bogeyman, by Raymond Briggs (Puffin, £5·99) What boy won't thrill to the world of the Bogeymen, all snot, armpits and boils? This gave Raymond Briggs's green crayon the workout of its life.

  • The Bibliofiles: Shaun Tan
    The BiblioFiles: Shaun Tan Premiere date: July 28, 2020 DR. DANA: The Cotsen Children's Library at Princeton University Library presents The BiblioFiles. [MUSIC PLAYING] Hi, this is Dr. Dana. Today, my guest is multiple-award-winning and New York Times bestselling author, illustrator, artist, and filmmaker, Shaun Tan. For over two decades, Shaun Tan has created unique worlds with his books, graphic novels, and artistic projects like The Arrival, Tales from Outer Suburbia, Rules of Summer, Lost and Found, The Bird King, The Singing Bones, Tales from the Inner City, and Cicada. The cardinal points in Tan's work are connection and disconnection, the natural world and the unnatural, urbanized world. Tan deftly abolishes the boundaries between them, however, with his unrivaled imagination. Hybrid machine beasts, spires and towers, a glorious, illuminated garden, an orca swimming above a grid of city lights, Tan presents these wonders while also exploring the essential connections between everything, how we connect to ourselves, how we connect to one another, how we connect with animals, how we connect with the environment, and how, at times, we fail to make these connections or even damage them. Distinct, expansive, fanciful, foreboding, playful, powerful, beautiful, and thought-provoking, Tan infuses his pages and canvases with a vision unlike anyone else. Tan's career has included New York Times bestselling and multiple-award-winning books, as well as a diversity of fantastic collaborative projects. He won an Academy Award for his short film, The Lost Thing, and also received the prestigious Astrid Lindgren Memorial Award for his outstanding contributions to children's literature.
