The Gulliver prize, established in 1969 by BUR, the Children and Youth Book Council (now IBBY Sweden) is awarded each year to someone who, through activities of a critical, theoretical or practical nature, has significantly contributed to increasing the understanding of children's books. The award winner is selected by the Gulliver Committee, which consists of representatives from the Swedish Children's Book Institute, the Publishers' Association, the Bookstore Association, the Association of Swedish Illustrators and Graphic Designers, the Writers' Association, Swedish Radio/Television/Educational Radio and IBBY Sweden. The prize consists of a diploma and a sum of money.

The 2020 Gulliver Prize is awarded to Linda Holmer, teacher in charge of "freestanding" courses in image and storytelling at HDK-VALAND - The School of Art and Design. In addition to teaching, Linda Holmer is also a graphic designer and picture book creator.

By rewarding Linda Holmer the committee said that it wanted to highlight the work that goes into creating picture books for children, an area that has not previously been rewarded. Linda has opened up collaborations with a great emphasis on the picture-text relationship, the writing process and issues specific to the picture book's form. In this way, the picture book courses at HDK have had a great impact when it comes to publishing picture books in Sweden.

The 2020 Peter Pan Award - the only Swedish children's book prize that goes to a translated book - was awarded to Bené – snabbare än den snabbaste hönan by Eymard Toledo, in translation from German by Björn Eklund, published by Karneval Publishing House. Eymard Toledo is originally from Brazil. The story of Bené is her first book published in Sweden.

The story of Bené, a boy in a small village in Brazil who loves to play football, is conveyed with expressive illustrations and humor and warmth in both text and image. In a simple and fun way, Bené's everyday life is depicted including his work and play, family and friends.
The Peter Pan Award is presented to a translated children's or adolescent book that has specific literary qualities and meets one or more of the following criteria:

1. It shows an authorship, which is new or not well known in Sweden.
2. It comes from a country, language or culture that is less common in Swedish publishing.
3. It has content that focuses on children or adolescents in other countries or cultures.

The prize consists of a diploma created by the South African children's book author and illustrator Piet Grobler, as well as an invitation to the Book Fair in Gothenburg where a seminar is organized to present the prize-winner and the winning book. We are very happy that Eymard Toledo has agreed to come to Gothenburg for the book fair and to do workshops!

In addition to the Peter Pan Award, Silver Stars were awarded to two books according to the same criteria. This year's Silver Stars go to När månen glömde by Jimmy Liao, translated from Chinese by Anna Gustafsson Chen, published by Mirando's Book and Ett hastigt rent rop by Siobhan Dowd, translated from English by Helena Ridelberg, published by Atrium Publishers.

The Peter Pan Award was established in 2000 by IBBY Sweden together with the Book Fair in Gothenburg. The jury consists of the board of IBBY Sweden.

The 2020 shortlist for the Deutscher Jugendliteraturpreis (German Children’s Literature Award) was presented online on 12 March 2020 because of the cancellation of the Leipzig Book Fair due to the coronavirus. The presentation is still available at YouTube-channel of IBBY Germany.

Since 1956 the German Children’s Literature Award has been given annually to outstanding works of children’s and young adult literature. Since it was established, the award has been international: books that have been translated from other languages equally eligible as German books.

Each year a jury of critics awards prizes in the categories of Picture Book, Children’s Book, Young Adult Book, and Non-Fiction. Furthermore, an independent young adult jury awards its own prize. In each category, the juries nominate six titles, which have been published the previous year. From these lists they choose the winning titles. The awards carry a value of 10,000 Euro and can be split up between authors, illustrators and translators.

In 2020 publishers submitted 647 titles, including 358 German originals and 289 translations. The 30 nominations made by the jury of critics and the young adult jury, include 9 books translated from English, 2 from Polish, 1 from French, 1 from Dutch, 1 from Norwegian, 1 from Portuguese, 1 from Russian and 1 from Czech.

Nominated for this year’s Special Award for New Talents are three German authors. The winner is chosen by the special award jury, who is also responsible for awarding the Special Award for Lifetime Achievement of a German author. The Special Award for New Talents is 10,000 Euro; the Special Award For Lifetime Achievement carries a value of 12,000 Euro. Both Special Awards are given alternately to German authors, translators and illustrators.

The German Children’s Literature Award is organized by the Arbeitskreis für Jugendliteratur, the German IBBY Section.

This year’s winners will be announced on 16 October 2020, at a ceremony during the Frankfurt Book Fair.

Stronger Together: IBBY Lithuanian national section became EURead member

At the end of 2019, the Lithuanian branch of IBBY was the first IBBY national section to become a member of EURead.

Founded in 2000, EURead is a consortium of European reading promotion organizations that believe that reading is a prerequisite for full participation in today’s media-led and culturally diverse society.

The aim of this unique European task force is to exchange knowledge, experiences and concepts, and to jointly develop new strategies for the promotion of reading. EURead meets regularly and organizes systematic lobbying of politicians, industry and commerce. This work raises awareness that a strong structural framework for reading promotion on a national and European level is absolutely vital. Currently, its members comprise 28 institutions from 21 countries in Europe, and also includes Turkey.

IBBY and EURead are united in their efforts to bring together professional experts, reading enthusiasts, representatives of non-governmental organizations, and all the others, who are relentlessly working in their fields to promote highest levels of reading among the wider population in general, and among the children in particular. They are both committed to the advancement of literacy throughout the nation by facilitating access to reading and learning. Such collaboration is mutually beneficial.

The Lithuanian branch of IBBY had a great opportunity to celebrate some benefits of this partnership during Vilnius Book Fair of 2020 with the participation of the representative of EURead and Stichting Lezen (Netherlands) Daan Beeke in the discussion forum of “How to make Europe read again?” Among other topics of the debate was the importance of EURead and other European NGOs in advocating their visions of the significance of reading at the political and the institutional levels of the European Union.

From Austria

The "KiJuLit Centre for Research and Didactics of Children’s Literature", an institutional member of IBBY Austria, published the first issue of the new open access publication “didacticum” from the University College of Teacher Education Styria in Graz, Austria. This issue deals with the texts of Renate Welsh as literature in schools. Each article in German starts with an English abstract.

International Conference 2019 on "Rooms of Reading"

In November 2019, the Centre for Children’s Literature, Reading and SK IBBY organized an international conference on the "Room of Reading" – WELCOME TO A BOOK LAB! The aim was to evaluate the existing experiences with the Rooms of Reading organized at BIBIANA, the International House of Art for Children. The participants included authors and experts in the field of literature and dramatic and fine arts from Slovakia and abroad. At the same time we sought to use examples and available parts of installations to present the Room of Reading as a unique artistic format that aims to introduce children to the possibility of moving "inside a book," experiencing new situations and emotions, solving tasks, and sensitively perceiving and reflecting on the story a book presents. The Room of Reading project succeeds in motivating children to pursue these objectives.

The conference presenters included Mária Bačová who had prepared the book Dierožrút (The hole eater) as a scenic laboratory. Creatively adapting this rather challenging book that deals with existential questions, such as the meaning of life, the sense of void, she succeeded in mediating the story for primary school-age children through a suitably approached graphic concept. Through physical encounter, the children were encouraged to search for holes with the "hole eaters" (objects), reflecting on what it is like to live in holes, while also getting to know the symbolic meaning of other objects in the story and the pathways of the hole eaters.

Mária Bačová speaking about the Room of Reading - Dierožrút (the Hole Eater) as a scenic laboratory

In another Room of Reading, entitled The Secret of the Castle Treasure, the scenographer Juliána Dubovská created the scene using a passage from the book by Ján Milčák, Starec, ktorý lietal (The Old Man Who Flew) and a fragment from the legend of the Červený Kameň Castle. Both texts were interlinked by the motif of a treasure and hidden mysteries, such as: an exhausted old man suddenly finds himself at an abundantly set table just to hear a warning inner voice not to eat of it despite his immense hunger. In this Room of Reading, the scenographer produced a tempting table that included cryptic messages warning about an impeding danger. These simultaneous messages served as an attractive riddle for the visitors. The facilitator Timotea Vráblová used a small fraction of the story to work with the children. She began with the moment when the old man enters the room with the feast awaiting him there. This scene gave the children a plenty to think about, for instance, they had never experienced hunger before, thus were not able to evoke the sense thereof. Posing the questions, such as, can we eat from the table? Who had enjoyed this table before? Vráblová explored symbolic language, the children’s observation (they did not notice many things, such as the shadows of the hands on the table cloth, the candleholder with a face), the interconnection of stories, and the processing of impulses.

Yet another Room of Reading, called Attention! Excavation of the Stories, graphically designed by the psychotherapist Zoltán Mátyus, was exceptional: there were only objects - no story.

Based on getting to know and selecting the objects at the 'excavation site', children were asked to search for a story: Who did the object belong to? What kind of persons they were? Where did they live? What did they do? The process of selection and searching for the objects was mind-stimulating. The children were led to browse and make decisions, whether they would hold on to the object they found, or whether they would put it back, considering whether and why the object fits into the story, etc. In this process, the children learned to assertively bring themselves into the shared space, arguing why they want to have a certain object in the story and taking responsibility for themselves and their decisions.

Finally, the children created one common story to which all the selected objects were included.

Save a strange creature

Between January and June 2020, BIBIANA offered a Room of Reading entitled Save a Strange Creature. This Room of Reading enables children to enter space of the story about Beauty and the Beast, thus leading them close to both known as well as unknown mysterious characters. Journeying through the story the children are helped by symbolic references, scenographic and costume objects, emotions, intuition, and imagination. The Save a Strange Creature Room of Reading is a result of a joint research project under the study program of Alternative and Puppet Theatre and its Theory at the Academy of Performing Arts (DAMU) in Prague. In this Room of Reading, the author of the story, Zuzana Vojtíšková, and the author of the graphic design, Jitka Pospíšilová, created a home space that evokes the sense of security and comfort (fire place, arm-chair, gifts, family photographs). Playing with "semi-masks" of the characters in the story, the children revealed the relationships between the characters (father, sisters, Belle) and tried to feel what if was like to be them, such as: What kind of characters they are? How are we going to understand them? How are we going to feel around them? Does their appearance help us find an answer to these questions? The children explored under what conditions they would be able to leave their safe zone to enter a strange environment, not knowing what to expect there, and to what extent they would be able to intentionally sacrifice themselves for a fellow human being.

In a separate room the children had an opportunity to think about the Beast, e.g., what images it evokes, what it may look like, whether it takes on a human or animal countenance. Thanks to props the children themselves created the Beast using a magnetic board. They gave the Beast hair, eyes, a body, arms and legs. They could choose whether to use human or animal body parts. The Save a Strange Creature Room of Reading motivates children to thinking about characters, their personalities, appearances and behaviors, and seeks to employ sensitivity and empathy to create space for mutual respect and friendship among children.

Award presentation ceremony

In January 2020, the Centre for Children’s Literature, Reading, and the Slovak Section of IBBY at BIBIANA, organized a national award presentation ceremony for the 2019 Ľudovít Fulla Award and the 2019 Triple Rose Award (Trojruža). The ceremony took place in chamber studio of the Radio and Television Slovakia (RTVS). The ceremonial evening with award presentations also featured the Pressburger Klezmer Band.

2019 L'udovít Fulla Award

The ĽUDOVÍT FULLA AWARD is a prize for an excellent work of art or the previous artistic production that has made a significant contribution to developing Slovak children’s and juvenile illustration art. The Fine Arts Foundation (FVU), SK IBBY, and BIBIANA - International House of Art for Children, presented the 2019 ĽUDOVÍT FULLA AWARD to the illustrator Daniela Krajčová for her original style of graphic expression through which she fosters the imagination of the child reader.

2019 Triple Rose Award

The TRIPLE ROSE AWARD is a prize for a significant literary work or a work in literary studies or the previous artistic production that has made a significant contribution to developing Slovak children’s and juvenile literature. The Literary Foundation, SK IBBY, and BIBIANA - International House of Art for Children, presented the 2019 TRIPLE ROSE AWARD to Erik Jakub Groch for the way he expresses profound human values in new contexts to make them intelligible to the child readers.

Language as a space of home

In February 2020, BIBIANA, the Centre for Children’s Literature, Reading, and SK IBBY organized a conference entitled LANGUAGE AS A SPACE OF HOME that marked the 2020 International Mother-Language Day under the auspices of the Minister of Culture of the Slovak Republic and the Ministry of Education, Science, Research and Sport of the Slovak Republic. The mother language is more than merely an ability to express oneself in a certain language. It is the language of the heart through which one experiences and expresses one’s emotions, thoughts, and feelings.

The creative conference explored the theme of the mother language from the perspective of its influence on the formation of the child’s inner security. It emphasized the role the mother language plays in cultivating human personality and discussed the mother language as a constructive element in the psychosocial development of children.

Celebrating the International Children's Book Day 2020

This year's ICBD was special in many ways. Since the classic celebrations in libraries, schools, kindergartens, etc. were impossible in most countries around the world because of the current pandemic, the Slovenian Section of IBBY, sponsor of the 2020 ICBD, encouraged a cyber-celebration.

We invited all National sections of IBBY to translate this year's message, written by Peter Svetina, and send us a video of the message being read in their national languages. Furthermore, we invited readers of all ages, teachers, reading mentors and children's literature authors to record themselves as they read their beloved book written or illustrated by the authors of this year's ICBD message and poster - Peter Svetina and Damijan Stepančič - or any other children's poem/story/book they really like. They were also encouraged to send us a photo of their own artworks inspired by this year's ICBD message and poster.

We have received many wonderful videos, photos, translations and words of encouragement; and would really like to thank all that helped us to celebrate in this unique way. You can find a collage of Hunger for Words videos in different languages on our webpage. There you can also find interviews with Peter Svetina and Damijan Stepančič, and some additional material on their works, which we prepared for this occasion. Further videos in Slovenian language, send to us by young readers, teachers and storytellers, can be also found on our webpage and on our facebook page that has never been so lively as after the publication of all the material we have received.

We believe that this material can be used by reading mentors in the future and will inspire unique ways of bringing children and books together.

It was lovely to connect in this way, in these times when hunger for words is particularly pertinent!
