Hans Christian Andersen Award Nominees: Heard of Any of These?
You are surely familiar with Eric Carle, the American illusrator nominee to the International Board on Books for Young People‘s 2010 Hans Christian Andersen awards for lifetime contribution to children’s literature. But how about the rest of the list?
There’s an author and illustrator each from 33 countries with overall winners to be announced next March. I’m sure winning is prestigious, but it seems like the list of nominees is far more valuable—though possibly just a total tease. A quick Amazon peruse showed that some of them have one or two works available in English, but others have none. Anyone got recommendations?
Sounds like a good project for some children’s book publisher and some talented translators (and collecting at least the existing English versions would be a good project for various librarians).
