  • 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.

  • Annotated Bibliography: Storytelling
    IS 245 Information Access / Maack MELISSA ELLIOTT Annotated Bibliography Page 1 of 5 ANNOTATED BIBLIOGRAPHY Storytelling has a rich heritage in every culture and every era. It is, or should be, a part of the training of children’s librarians for both public and school libraries; this bibliography of resources, consisting of “how to find material” (which oftentimes includes some of the material itself), and also “how to do it” should prove useful for librarians, teachers, and possibly dedicated parents interested in expanding their ability to “tell me a story.” Books These books were culled from bibliographic sections at the end of each chapter of The Storyteller’s Start-up Book, by Margaret Read MacDonald, and also from a search for “storytell?” on Librarians Index to the Internet (http://LII.org) and on the LAPL website. 1. MacDonald, Margaret Read. The Storyteller’s Sourcebook: A Subject, Title, and Motif-Index to Folklore Collections for Children. Detroit: Neal-Schuman / Gale Research, 1982. This massive work indexes 556 folktale collections and 389 picture books, which encompass all folktale titles in Children’s Catalog 1961-1981 plus all folktale titles mentioned in Booklist reviews 1960-1980. It is the first reference tool to bring together from children’s collections variants of each folktale and to supply descrip- tions of them. It is broken down into four indexes: Motif, Tale Title, Subject, and Ethnic/Geographic. The Motif Index makes use of Finnish folklorist Antti Aarne’s 1910 numbering system according to Type and Motif. The tales are also categorized in sub-topics: for instance, Cinderella + glass slipper + cruel stepmother, etc., which follows 1932 Indiana University folklorist Stith Thompson’s classifications (though not in such minute detail).
