Hamline MFAC January 2016 RECOMMENDED OLDER BOOKS Below are some recommended older works of children’s literature written in English, all published before 2001. Some of these books were not published for children, though most of them were. We think they all have a lot to offer for understanding writing for young audiences. Reading these books is recommended, but not required. The list should prove useful as you select topics for your critical essays, and as you look to deepen your understanding of craft in particular areas. This list has two missions. 1. The first and primary mission is to expose you to older books that the faculty judges useful to read as a writer. Each provides some insight into making books for children. Some of these stories are outdated now in terms of certain craft elements and politics. Our country’s history of diversity and representation has been (and continues to be) problematic. Yet we still feel these stories useful for writers to know and think about. They are brilliant in their ways. 2. The second mission is to deepen our students’ understanding of the history of children’s literature written in English. That means these books supplement the required historical and critical readings with primary source material, and will complement the lectures surveying the history of children’s literature that Kerlan librarian Lisa Von Drasek will be giving in our program starting in July 2016. To be a master of any subject, one must understand its past, and we want this reading list to help you start thinking about our current representations, storytelling practices, and ideas of childhood by charting some of our history. Still, in selecting works for the students to read, we chose not to make a list of the most influential, most controversial or most groundbreaking works. Instead, we kept history in mind while prioritizing the first mission – books that we think will deepen your craft. A note on content: Writers write about what haunts them. They write about their wounds. Fiction writers, in particular, depend on tension and conflict as the drivers of plot. Some of the books we have chosen may cause distress for some readers, especially if the reader is a trauma survivor. If this description applies to you, please do what you can to take care of yourself so that you can engage effectively with the required reading and participate in class. If you need specific expertise to help you deal with your response to the reading, you can contact Hamline Counseling and Health Services (651-523-2204). If you would like to know in advance about the content of any books on the list, contact Emily Jenkins, Swati Avasthi or Laura Ruby (the book list committee members) and one of us will orient you.

    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.
