On April 2, the birthday of H. C. Andersen, every two years children's writers and artists are awarded the main award - the International Prize named after the great storyteller with a gold medal - the most prestigious international award, which is often called the “Small Nobel Prize”. A gold medal with the profile of a great storyteller is awarded to the laureates at the next congress of the International Council on Children's Books (IBBY is now the most authoritative organization in the world, uniting writers, artists, literary scholars, and librarians from more than sixty countries). According to its status, the award is awarded only to living writers and artists.

The prize for writers has been approved since 1956, for illustrators since 1966. Over the years, 23 writers and 17 children's book illustrators - representatives of 20 countries - have become laureates of the Andersen Prize.

The history of the award is inextricably linked with the name of the outstanding figure in world children's literature, Ella Lepman (1891-1970).
E. Lepman was born in Germany, in Stuttgart. During the Second World War she emigrated to the United States, but Switzerland became her second home. From here, from Zurich, came her ideas and deeds, the essence of which was to build a bridge of mutual understanding and international cooperation through a book for children. Ella Lepman managed to do a lot. And it was Ella Lepman who initiated the establishment in 1956 of the International Prize named after. H.K.Andersen. Since 1966, the same prize has been awarded to an illustrator of a children's book.

The Russian Children's Book Council has been a member of the International Children's Book Council since 1968. But so far there are still no Russian writers among the laureates of this organization. But among illustrators there is such a laureate. In 1976, the Andersen Medal was awarded to Tatyana Alekseevna Mavrina (1902-1996).

ELEANOR FARJON
www.eldrbarry.net/rabb/farj/farj.htm

“Seven maids with seven brooms, even if they had worked for fifty years, would never have been able to sweep away from my memory the dust of memories of disappeared castles, flowers, kings, curls of beautiful ladies, the sighs of poets and the laughter of boys and girls.” These words belong to the famous English writer Elinor Farjeon (1881-1965). The writer found precious fairy dust in the books she read as a child. Elinor's father Benjamin Farjeon was a writer. The house where the girl grew up was full of books: “Books covered the walls of the dining room, overflowed into the mother’s living room and into the bedrooms upstairs. It seemed to us that living without clothes would be more natural than without books. Not reading was as strange as not eating.” Further

The works of Swedish children's writer Astrid Lindgren have been translated into more than 60 languages, and more than one generation of children has grown up reading her books. About 40 films and cartoons have been shot about the adventures of Lindgren's heroes. During her lifetime, her compatriots erected a monument to the writer.

Astrid Eriksson was born November 14, 1907 on a farm near the city of Vimmerby in a farming family. The girl studied well at school, and her literature teacher liked her works so much that he predicted for her the glory of Selma Lagerlöf, the famous Swedish novelist.

At the age of 17, Astrid took up journalism and worked for some time at a local newspaper. Then she moved to Stockholm, trained as a stenographer and worked as a secretary in various companies in the capital. In 1931 Astrid Eriksson married and became Astrid Lindgren.

Astrid Lindgren jokingly recalled that one of the reasons that prompted her to write was the cold Stockholm winters and the illness of her little daughter Karin, who always asked her mother to tell her about something. It was then that mother and daughter came up with a mischievous girl with red pigtails - Pippi.

From 1946 to 1970 Lindgren worked at the Stockholm publishing house Raben & Sjögren. The writer's fame came to her with the publication of books for children "Pippi - Longstocking" (1945-52) and "Mio, my Mio!" (1954). Then there were stories about the Kid and Carlson (1955-1968), Rasmus the tramp (1956), a trilogy about Emil from Lenneberga (1963-1970), the books “The Lionheart Brothers” (1979), “Ronya, the Robber’s Daughter” (1981) etc. Soviet readers discovered Astrid Lindgren back in the 1950s, and her first book translated into Russian was the story “The Kid and Carlson Who Lives on the Roof.”

Lindgren's characters are distinguished by spontaneity, inquisitiveness and ingenuity, and mischief is combined with kindness, seriousness and touching. The fabulous and fantastic coexist with real pictures of life in an ordinary Swedish town.

Despite the apparent simplicity of the plots, Lindgren's books are written with a subtle understanding of the characteristics of child psychology. And if you re-read her stories through the eyes of an adult reader, it becomes clear that we are talking about the complex process of a child’s formation in the incomprehensible and not always kind world of adults. Behind the outward comicality and carefree nature of the characters, there is often a hidden theme of the loneliness and homelessness of the little man.

In 1958 Lindgren was awarded the International Hans Christian Andersen Gold Medal for the humanistic nature of her work.

Astrid Lindgren has passed away January 28, 2002 at the age of 95 years. She is buried in her native land, in Vimmerby. This town became the place where the winners of the annual international prize in memory of Astrid Lindgren “For works for children and youth” were announced, the decision to establish which was made by the Swedish government shortly after the death of the writer.

In 1996, a monument to Lindgren was unveiled in Stockholm.

ERICH KESTNER

German poet, novelist and playwright Erich Köstner (1899-1974) wrote for adults and children. His books contain a fusion of adult and children's problems, among which the problems of the family, a growing person, and the children's environment predominate.
In his youth, he dreamed of being a teacher and began studying at a teacher’s seminary. He did not become a teacher, but throughout his life he remained faithful to his youthful convictions and remained an educator. Kästner had a sacred attitude towards real teachers; it is no coincidence that in his book “When I was Little” he says: “Genuine, called, born teachers are almost as rare as heroes and saints.” Further

- Don't yell! - said the housekeeper Frau Kunkel. - You are not performing on stage, and you are setting the table.
Isolde, the new maid, smiled thinly. Frau Kunkel's taffeta dress rustled. She walked around the front. She straightened the plate and moved the spoon slightly.
“Yesterday there was beef with noodles,” Isolde remarked melancholy. --Today it's sausages and white beans. The millionaire could have eaten something more elegant.
“Mr. Privy Councilor eats what he likes,” said Frau Kunkel after mature reflection.
Isolde laid out the napkins, narrowed her eyes, looked at the composition and headed towards the exit.
- Just a minute! - Frau Kunkel stopped her. - My late father, may he rest in heaven, used to say; “If you buy at least forty pigs in the morning, you still won’t eat more than one chop at lunch.” Remember this for the future! I don't think you'll stay with us long.
“When two people think the same thing, you can make a wish,” Isolde said dreamily.
- I'm not your person! - exclaimed the housekeeper. The taffeta dress rustled. The door slammed
Frau Kunkel shuddered. “And what did Isolde wish for?” she thought, left alone. “I can’t imagine.”

For this book, Eiko Kadono was awarded the Noma Debut Literary Prize for children's work, and also produced a hugely popular cartoon, which prompted her to write five more books as a sequel.

The book “Kiki's Delivery Service” tells the story of a young witch, Kiki, and her talking cat Ji-ji, who fly away from home to the unfamiliar seaside town of Koriko to undergo a kind of internship for young witches.
There she opens a delivery service using her broom as transport. As the story progresses, the heroine overcomes various difficulties of adult life.

Brazilian illustrator Roger Mello

(Roger Mello).

The award jury noted that the writer Uehashi Nahoko, selected from 28 applicants, has a unique ability to create various fantasy worlds, drawing on traditional Japanese mythology and great respect for nature and all sentient beings.

The work of Roger Mello, the best of 30 applicants, according to the jury, gives the child the opportunity to explore the history and culture of Brazil, allowing him to go through it with his own imagination.

She is best known for her Guardian books, fantasy stories about a girl warrior, many of which have been translated into European languages. In 2004, the fifth book in the series, Kami no Moribito (God's Guardian), was included in the IBBY Book Honor List. Uehashi's books are being adapted for television, manga is being drawn from them, and radio plays are being staged.

Roger Mello was born and lived for a long time in the capital of Brazil, then moved to study and work in Rio de Janeiro. Having received education as a designer, he worked in various fields of art: cinema, theater, illustration.

This is an unusually prolific author: in 15 years he has illustrated more than a hundred books, about twenty of which were written by himself. Melu draws inspiration from a variety of sources, primarily from folk art and pop culture. His books abound in the rich colors of his native country, combined with traditional patterns and shapes borrowed from 20th-century European art. Melu prefers to create picture books with a minimum of text or no words at all: after all, children also begin to perceive the world first through visual images, and then through words. In this he is similar to many other illustrators from Latin America and Spain, who tell their stories with colorful brushstrokes and energetic silhouettes.

CITY OF LAUGHTER

An ordinary book is made like this: a writer or poet composes a text and gives it to an artist to draw illustrations. And with the book “City of Laughter” it turned out the other way around! Honored Artist of Russia Viktor Chizhikov painted for more than half a century in the magazines “Murzilka”, “Funny Pictures”, “Pioneer”, as well as in the adult publications “Around the World” and “Crocodile”. Andrey Usachev collected these drawings and wrote funny poems for them together with Galina Dyadina, and the result was the book “Musical Tree” with the subtitle “music lessons for the whole family.”

This is how they built a whole CITY OF LAUGHTER, on the pages of which the children will find riddles and counting rhymes, amusing confusions and absurdities, and even... fun drawing lessons! For primary school age.

MUSICAL TREE

Poems and music, like brother and sister, always reach out to each other. This is probably why the funny and melodious, mischievous and educational poems of Professor AU so easily and naturally formed into a whole musical alphabet. Professor AU, as always, thoroughly approached the subject being studied: he found the eighth note MU, lost in time immemorial (it was lying around a cow), grew a musical tree and talked about many of the most amazing musical instruments.

About the flute!

But about the jew's harp!

A short story is told about each instrument, the plot of which is “developed and refined” in detail and unexpectedly in funny pictures by Alexander Zudin. Poets talk about the shepherd's instrument of yodeling, and the artist depicts a cow selflessly dancing in the Alpine meadows. Poets talk about a magical instrument called a flute, and the artist illustrates its magical abilities by depicting a flying flock of birds, into which an inspired flutist has “wormed his way in.” Fascinatingly?

THE GREAT MIGHTY RUSSIAN LANGUAGE

Winged words in poems and pictures for children of all ages

He cheerfully and intelligently explains the meanings of popular words and expressions. Well-known and widespread figures of speech become popular because they quickly fly from mouth to mouth. The meaning of such an expression is not easy to unravel, since it does not consist of the meanings of the words included in it. The author gives us the key to the secret of the meaning “between the lines”, the key to the riddles and semantic puzzles of the figurative Russian language. The artist perfectly supports verbal play and humor, offering unexpected, funny and memorable images. Funny and mischievous poems and drawings help you understand catchwords well and simply use them in speech.

Usachev writes figuratively and clearly!

What is an idiom?

If people say
That you don’t have EVERYTHING at home...
Answer: - Me and brother!
Is there straw in your head?
Or a mess in the head?
This is also an idiom
Or rather, two.

All life is a struggle! -

Said the wrestler.

Hurry-mowing!-

Said the scythe.

The actor said:

The whole world is a theater!

Madhouse! -

noted the psychiatrist.

Life is a cross! -

corrected pop.

Ditch!-

The digger muttered.

The artist shouted:

Life is a picture!

The ballerina squealed.

Life is a dark forest! -

the forester sighed.

“Beef,” the butcher yawned.

Is there life?

The philosopher said:

This is the most important question.

A certain scientist
I started making an elephant out of a molehill:
I cheated, I cheated -
People called to have a look.
