    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.

    Geisel Award Manual Task Force the Ferguson Library, Stamford CT

    THEODOR SEUSS GEISEL AWARD COMMITTEE MANUAL August 2015 1 Theodor Seuss Geisel Award Committee Manual—Revised August 2015 FOREWORD There are few things more amazing than watching a child learning to read. Books for beginning readers play a key role in this process, and the best ones ensure that these early reading experiences are both enjoyable and positive. The Theodor Seuss Geisel Award was established in 2004, to recognize those books for beginning readers which meet a particularly high standard of excellence First presented in 2006, the Award is funded by an endowment established through funding by the San Diego Foundation’s Dr. Seuss Fund, and administered by the Association for Library Service to Children (ALSC). The award is given annually to the most distinguished American book for beginning readers. According to Gretchen Wronka, ALSC President 2004-2005 “There is a true magic to Geisel’s work, which is clear in the enduring power of such classics as The Cat in the Hat and Green Eggs and Ham. This new award honors that spirit and the authors and illustrators that delight and engage children in reading.” Shortly after the announcement of the first award, the President of ALSC appointed a Task Force to develop this award manual. The first two Chairs of the Geisel Award Selection Committee comprised the task force, and their experiences on the Geisel committee inform the content of this manual. In addition, special thanks go to the members of the first two Geisel Award committees who tested and interpreted the award criteria in their careful deliberations, and offered many helpful suggestions during the writing of the Manual.

    Springwood Yr7; for the love of reading… Please find below a list of suggestions from many of our subjects on what you could read to improve your knowledge and understanding. If you find something better please tell Mr Scoles and I will update this page! In History we recommend students read the Horrible History series of books as these provide a fun and factual insight into many of the time periods they will study at Springwood. Further reading of novels like War Horse by Michael Morpurgo or the stories of King Arthur by local author Kevin Crossley-Holland are well worth a read. Geography recommends the Horrible Geography books as they are well written and popular with our current students, plus any travel guides you can find in local libraries. Learning a foreign language presents its own challenges when producing a reading list, but students can still do a lot for themselves to improve; Duolingo is a free language learning app, a basic phrasebooks with CD and websites like www.languagesonline.org.uk and Linguascope (please ask your German teacher for a username and password) are very helpful.

    A Never Ending Never Done Bibliography of Multicultural Literature for Younger and Older Children

    DOCUMENT RESUME ED 407 388 SP 037 304 AUTHOR Walters, Toni S., Comp.; Cramer, Amy, Comp. TITLE A Never Ending Never Done Bibliography of Multicultural Literature for Younger and Older Children. First Edition. PUB DATE 96 NOTE 51p. PUB TYPE Information Analyses (070) Reference Materials Bibliographies (131) EDRS PRICE MF01/PC03 Plus Postage. DESCRIPTORS Adolescent Literature; Adolescents; *American Indian Literature; American Indians; Asian Americans; *Black Literature; Blacks; Children; Childrens Literature; Elementary Secondary Education; *Ethnic Groups; *Hispanic American Literature; Hispanic Americans; United States Literature IDENTIFIERS African Americans; *Asian American Literature; Latinos; *Multicultural Literature; Native Americans ABSTRACT People of all ages are addressed in this bibliography of multicultural literature. It focuses on four major ethnic groups: African Americans, Asian Americans, Latino Americans, and Native Americans. Within each category a distinction is made between those works with an authentic voice and those with a realistic voice. An authentic voice is an author or illustrator who is from the particular ethnic group and brings expertise and life experience to his/her writings or illustrations. A realistic voice is that of an author or illustrator whose work is from outside that experience, but with valuable observations. An asterisk notes the distinction. No distinction is drawn between juvenile literature and adult literature. The decision is left to the reader to make the choices, because some adult literature may contain selections appropriate to children. Two appendices provide: a selected annotated bibliography (14 entries) on multiethnic/multicultural literature references and analyses and sources of multiethnic/multicultural books.(SPM) ******************************************************************************** Reproductions supplied by EDRS are the best that can be made from the original document.
