  • David Grossman
    DAVID GROSSMAN Hans Christian Andersen Author Award 2020 Nominated by IBBY Israel A statement on the Grossman contribution to literature for children and young people. David Grossman (born in Jerusalem, 1954) is a major figure in contemporary Hebrew literature. He writes for older and younger readers, in alternating order: Following every adult book, Grossman publishes a book for younger readers, followed by an adult book, etc. In his literary and journalistic writing Grossman does not shy away from complicated and controversial issues. He fights for the human rights of people of all ages, genders, and ethnicities. He is active in social justice causes and in peace initiatives between Arabs and Jews. In 1982 he published his first children’s book, Duel, about a twelve- year-old boy who makes friends with an elderly man in a nursing home. His writing for children and young adults encompasses a wide range of topics. In his picture books, he focuses on aspects of children’s daily life (Uri’s Special Language; A Brand-New Baby Brother) or their rich and wonderful imaginations, which can generate all sorts of fears (Itamar Walks on Walls; Itamar Meets a Rabbit, Itamar the Dream Hunter), worries (Don’t Worry Ruti, Itamar the Dream Hunter), or fantasies, sometimes involving imaginary friends (Hadas’ Friend). In Grossman’s picture books, the child’s world contains an empathic adult, the father, who respects the child, listens to him lovingly, and is able to suggest an unusual solution to the difficulty confronting the child, which the child is in turn quick to accept (the Itamar books; Who Wants a Piggy-Back?, Don’t Worry Ruti, etc.) In his writing for young adults Grossman deals with complicated issues, including ones that were considered taboo in the young adult Hebrew literature of their day.
