  • Thirty Years of New Zealand's Children's Literature (1970-1999)
    DOCUMENT RESUME ED 447 491 CS 217 287 AUTHOR Mills, Wayne F. TITLE Thirty Years of New Zealand's Children's Literature (1970-1999). PUB DATE 2000-07-00 NOTE 12p.; Paper presented at the International Reading Association World Congress on Reading (18th, Auckland, New Zealand, July 11-14, 2000). PUB TYPE Reports Descriptive (141) Speeches/Meeting Papers (150) EDRS PRICE MF01/PC01 Plus Postage. DESCRIPTORS *Childrens Literature; Elementary Secondary Education; Foreign Countries; *Literary History; Publishing Industry IDENTIFIERS Book Awards; Literary Awards; *New Zealand; *New Zealand Literature ABSTRACT In 1970 New Zealand had a small output of just 15 titles in children's literature. But much has happened over the last 30 years to ensure that New Zealand literature for children has an established footing: authors known and unknown have been encouraged to write, and publishers have been encouraged to seek the highest production standards. This paper explores some of the significant developments in children's literature in New Zealand. The paper first considers the establishment and conferment of various children's book awards. It then discusses organizations such as the Children's Literature Association, founded in 1969 with the express aim of promoting the best books for children, and the New Zealand Children's Book Foundation, which began in 1990 and has grown and expanded to promote its national ideal of literacy and good literature. The paper also discusses the annual Storyline Festival and the Writers in School Scheme, designed to allow both primary and secondary schools the opportunity of having New Zealand authors. It considers children's books in different genres during the 1980s ("a time of growth") and the 1990s (an average of 101 titles a year).

It also provides a bibliographic description and quantitative analysis of Malaysian award winning children and young adults’ literature by describing frequency of book awards and writing competition, prizes and organisations involved, genres, winning authors and categories by children and young adults. This study uses a mixed approach of historical research and bibliographic study. Historical method is used to study the contents of sources, both primary and secondary such as journal articles from Dewan Sastera, Dewan Siswa, books, newspaper reports and printed programmes in order to put into chronology the events that lead up to the organisation and development of children and young adults’ literary prizes in Malaysia. Subsequently, descriptive statistics is used to describe the frequency of awards, genres, organisations involved, categories, years of awards, prizes value and the winning authors and their works. In the early years, writing competitions were mostly organised by DBP, a government agency; in this era, the private sector had overtaken the government in organising and sponsoring literary prizes.

  • Keynote Speech - Storylines National Children’S Writers and Illustrators’ Hui, 6 October 2017
    Keynote speech - Storylines National Children’s Writers and Illustrators’ Hui, 6 October 2017 The rise and rise of New Zealand children’s publishing Tessa Duder Once upon a time – about 1978 - a young mother of four was struck in the middle of the night with an idea for a children’s novel. A sailing adventure! A family in peril! Would they survive the night?! This was very odd: she’d never written a word of fiction in her life. Sometime during the four years it took to write the story and get it published, she cut out the cartoon below from the Listener and filed it away. (Elderly man to non-so-young woman at cocktail party: And what are you falling back on to writing children’s books from?) Miraculously, 35 years and about 50 books later, she was able to find it in a musty box file. We may laugh at the sub-text of that remark, but actually ‘falling back onto children’s books’ from success as adult writers has some noble exemplars: Leo Tolstoy, Oscar Wilde, Ian Fleming, A.A. Milne. Our own Janet Frame, Joy Cowley, William Taylor, Kate De Goldi, Graeme Lay, Barbara Else. Though it’s more often the reverse: highly skilled children’s writers ‘falling back’ onto writing for adults: think Mandy Hagar, Gaelyn Gordon, David Hill, Bernard Beckett, Fleur Beale, Roald Dahl, John Marsden, J.K. Rowling. The long path to success of Under the Mountain To consider one such fallen angel of the ‘falling back on to children’s’ variety, let’s recall the New Zealand of 1974.

  • STORYLINES BETTY GILDERDALE AWARD Past to Present: Navigating New Zealand Children’S Literature
    STORYLINES BETTY GILDERDALE AWARD Past to present: Navigating New Zealand Children’s Literature Presentation Dunningham Room Dunedin Public Library November 6 2015 Trish Brooking [email protected] Zealand Storylines Betty Gilderdale Award Past to present: Navigating New Zealand Children’s Literature Kia ora koutou. What an honour it is to be presented with the Storylines Betty Gilderdale Award for 2015. Thank you to Dr. Libby Limbrick and Storylines for making this possible and to Sandy McKay and Storylines for organising this lovely event. Storylines provides a unique advocacy role in New Zealand by promoting author events up and down the country and helping children develop a love of literature. Furthermore, as a representative of IBBY (International Board on Books for Young People), Storylines is hosting the 35th IBBY International Congress in Auckland from 18-21 August 2016. Well done to Libby and her team. It is wonderful to have so many family, friends and colleagues here tonight so thank you very much for coming along. Receiving this award means a lot to me and I would especially like to thank my fabulous family – Tom, Rachel and Chris, Peter and Morgana, and especially our junior book worms, Zac, Orla and Felix, for enthusiastic support. What a week we have had with the All Blacks, the Silver Ferns and a New Zealand horse winning the Melbourne Cup. I was one who rose early on the morning of the rugby World Cup final so I can claim to be a sports fan, yet I look forward to the day when we equally celebrate cultural success, and in particular, the literary successes of our esteemed New Zealand children’s writers and illustrators, who I believe, are deserving of similar accolades.
