  • 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.

    Mr A, Mr C and Mr D Present… Reading Reconsidered Reading Spine Text Selector for Primary Schools Contents The 5 Plagues of a Developing Reader p3 Creation of the List & p4 Application to Long Term Plans Years 1-2 List p5-8 Years 3-4 List p9-11 Years 5-6 List p12-16 Other Books to Consider p17-20 Other Resources p21 The 5 Plagues of the Developing Reader In his book ‘Reading Reconsidered’, Doug Lemov points out that there are five types of texts that children should have access to in order to successfully navigate reading with confidence. These are complex beyond a lexical level and demand more from the reader than other types of books. Read his blog article here: http://teachlikeachampion.com/blog/on-text-complexity-and-reading-part-1- the-five-plagues-of-the-developing-reader/ Archaic Language The vocabulary, usage, syntax and context for cultural reference of texts over 50 or 100 years old are vastly different and typically more complex than texts written today. Students need to be exposed to and develop proficiency with antiquated forms of expression to be able to hope to read James Madison, Frederick Douglass and Edmund Spenser when they get to college. Non-Linear Time Sequences In passages written exclusively for students—or more specifically for student assessments— time tends to unfold with consistency. A story is narrated in a given style with a given cadence and that cadence endures and remains consistent, but in the best books, books where every aspect of the narration is nuanced to create an exact image, time moves in fits and start.

  • Hans Christian Andersen Awards Are the Highest International Distinction in Children’S Literature
    HANS CH RISTIAN A NDERSEN A WARDS Christine E. King, Iowa State University The Hans Christian Andersen Awards are the highest international distinction in children’s literature. They are given every other year to a living author and illustrator whose outstanding body of work is judged to have made a lasting contribution to literature for children and young people. The first three awards were made to authors for single works. The author’s award has been given since 1956 and the illustrator’s since 1966. They are presented by the International Board on Books for Young People (IBBY). They have become the “Little Nobel Prize,” and their prestige has grown over the years. Selecting the award win- ners is considered by many to be IBBY’s most important activity. The nominations are made by the National Sections of IBBY, and the recipients are selected by a distinguished international jury of children’s literature specialists. The IBBY emphasizes that the Hans Christian Andersen Awards are not intended to be a national award, but an outstanding international award for chil- dren’s literature. A great effort is made to encourage the submission of candidates from all over the world, and a jury of ten experts is also selected from around the world in order to encourage a diversity of outlook and opinion. The award consists of a gold medal bearing the portrait of Hans Christian Andersen and a diploma and is presented at the opening ceremony of the IBBY Congress. The IBBY’s refereed journal Bookbird has a special Andersen Awards issue which presents all the nominees and documents the selection process.

  • Anthony Browne HOW DO YOU FEEL
    Anthony Browne is one of the most popular and stylistically distinctive children’s book artists, with a number of outstanding titles to his credit including "Gorilla" and "The Tunnel". Anthony grew up in a village called Hipperholme, in Yorkshire. He loved art and would spend hours drawing with his father. After he left school, Anthony studied graphic design and then went on to paint the insides of people's bodies for medical textbooks. He found this fascinating, but after three years found that the work was becoming repetitive and instead began de- signing greetings cards. This in turn led him to illustrating children's books - his book "Gorilla" began life as a picture on a birthday card. Anthony lives in Kent and has two grown-up children. Anthony has won many prizes for his work, including the Kate Greenaway Medal (twice) and the Kurt Maschler Award (three times). In 2000, he received the highest international honour for illustration, the Hans Christian Andersen Award, for his services to children's literature - the first British illustrator to win the prize since 1956. He has also been announced as the 2009-2011 Children's Laureate, which is an enormous honour, but mostly a testament to his body of work. Things you didn't know about Anthony Browne: 1. When he was a boy he wanted to be a journalist, a cartoonist, or a boxer. 2. He was once asked to present a programme on children’s books, in a cage with some gorillas - but one gorilla bit him badly on the leg. It didn’t put him off them, but, he says “you wouldn’t catch me going into a cage with one again!” 3 .He grew up in a pub and when he was little, would go into the bar, stand on a table and tell stories about a character he’d made up called Big Dum Tackle.

  • Bird 40,#3-Focus IBBY
    Focus IBBY Column Editor: Leena Maissen IBBY in Bologna 2002 One of the eagerly awaited moments in IBBY’s institutional life is the announcement of the Hans Christian Andersen Award winners, every two years, at two-thirty in the afternoon, during the first day of the Children’s Book Fair in Bologna. The meeting room in Hall 29, where the press conference is held, is too small, overcrowded, and hot, but there is no better alternative. Those who have not been lucky enough to get seats impatiently hope that the other presentations of IBBY activities will pass by quickly, never mind how important they might be. After all, they want to know who the winners are. This year, with Aidan Chambers and Quentin Blake, it was a double for Britain. The British IBBY Section would not believe the news that their candidates had won, since the 2000 illustrator award had gone to Anthony Browne. Their surprise and joy was overwhelming. It seems like a miracle that the jury and the winners—who are notified beforehand—can keep the results secret for two weeks— but they did. When Jury President Jay Heale disclosed the name of the winning author, Aidan Chambers emerged from the back of the room to the podium accompanied by a roar of applause. Although he was unable to attend the event personally, the announcement of Quentin Blake as the winning illustrator was greeted with equally enthusiastic approval. Toasts were raised to celebrate both winners during the traditional champagne and cookies reception at the IBBY stand afterwards. The works and dossiers of all the 55 authors and illustrators proposed for the 2002 awards were exhibited at the IBBY stand and attracted much attention.
