Classic authors for children nomination. Review of Russian children's literary awards

Authors receive awards not for individual works, but for the entire result of their creativity. As already mentioned, the prize is awarded not only to writers. Illustrators and storytellers are also among the nominees. In addition, the prize can be awarded to people and organizations that, through their activities, increase interest in reading among children and adolescents. While the prize is awarded annually, there may be one or several laureates in one year, regardless of their nationality, place of residence, or language of their works.

The initiators of the award pursue the brightest goals completely in the spirit of Astrid Lindgren. They are confident that, first of all, books teach the younger generation to understand other cultures and respect the spiritual values ​​of other peoples. They believe that the wider the reading circle of children and adolescents becomes, the stronger will be their moral foundation on which a free society is built. Finally, they believe that attention to candidates and laureates of the Astrid Lindgren Prize helps disseminate their works, increases the number of translations, circulation, and therefore helps even more children gain access to the best examples of modern literature.

Children have the right to good, exciting, innovative, relevant and serious literature, believe the jury members, who determine which of the nominated nominees will be recognized as corresponding to the spirit of the incomparable Astrid Lindgren. The writer who gave the world Carlson and Pippi, Emil and Roni, did an enormous amount for the development of children's literature as an art form. Her books have pushed the boundaries of the world of children's books. The award named after her is awarded for creativity only of the highest standard, corresponding.

The prize has been awarded since 2003, but in the first year of its existence there was no list of nominees, simply because the system of national representatives with the right to nominate their candidates had not yet been organized. Thus, in 2003, the jury members awarded the prize of their choice. They settled on two epochal figures of twentieth-century children's literature: American writer and the artist Maurice Sendak and the Austrian writer Christina Nöstlinger.

14.12.2017

The eighth season of “Kniguru” unexpectedly turned out to be animalistic - that’s what the competition experts called it: the texts of all the laureates are dedicated to animals.

The first two places in the 2017 season were taken by “newcomers” - these names are still unknown to most readers, and the third is well known.

“Children’s literature has a decisive role,” commented expert Shamil Idiatullin. – The book remains the most universal tool that turns a human cub into a human being. Literature must correspond to the era. If the reader encounters a text that is not of its time, he does not consider it honest - and we lose the reader. Then we will not raise a person who will take a big step for humanity. And if a child or teenager does not learn from literature, he can only learn from his own example. It's not always safe. And “Kniguru” has an ecological niche in this sense: bookish writers know how to come from the side where the reader is not expecting, pull him along with him - and start talking to him about complex and serious topics.”

1 place took Liliya Volkova (Moscow), story "Under the Constellation of Stray Dogs" .

2nd place – Antonina Malysheva (Novosibirsk), story "The Cat of Oblivion" .

3rd place –Stanislav Vostokov (Moscow region), story "Brother-junnat."

And to do this you need to find the white cat and unravel its secret.

A child of books, he romanticizes this trade, trembling with impatience, in anticipation of the first shot. But everything turns out to be completely different. Completely different feelings awaken in the boy, and taking the life of another creature, watching the gaze of living eyes dim and fade, is not easy.
In the story, two worlds collide. Nature is a large, spacious house in which there should be enough space for everyone. This world is generous, but it can be harsh and cruel, it can fight back.

And this is in Karelia. The language of “Pawns” is so good, the author is detailed and accurate in detail, so that the story looks authentic. All the same, I, who have little idea of ​​the problems of the remote villages of Karelia, would classify “Pawns” as a fantasy genre or, at least, a historical story - maybe that was the case 15 years ago? This will not interfere with the reader's enjoyment.". - Mikhail Loginov.

Natalya Volkova “MULTI-COLORED SNOW”

"IN Soviet time there were stories about how pioneers exposed a wartime traitor. In “Snow”, the heroes and, first of all, the heroine have another task - to rehabilitate a man who was shot for collaborating with the Nazis.

Adeliya Amraeva became a finalist for the Vladislav Krapivin International Literary Prize and the Sergei Mikhalkov Prize. Her story “Football Field” was selected among 10 other children's works among 194 submitted to the competition.

“Football Field”: “Life is a football field,” says ten-year-old Dimka, for whom there is nothing more important than football. He dreams of becoming a professional football player and leading the country's national team to the World Cup finals. He really wants his mother to see this decisive match. But, alas, mother is against her son playing football. And all because his father, who does not live with them, is a football player. And Dimka is left with one of two options: to pursue his dream against all odds or to drown in prohibitions and doubts.

Adelia writes from childhood: “At that time, only my mother, several classmates and Russian language teacher Askar Mulkamanovich read me. He was the first to tell me that I could be a writer. I am incredibly grateful to him...” Adelia Amraeva began writing again, consciously, with the desire to learn and move on, at the Open Literary School of Almaty. The first story I put on paper was sad story about twin brothers.

There is a lot of personal things in Adelia Amraeva’s story. Her book “I Want to Live” touches on the issue of child suicide.

Aya EN - fantasy cycle "Mutangels" - the first book "PI Level"

The text of this book contains a certain code that lovers of secrets and riddles will have to solve!

The book captivates from the very first page, as it is preceded by this warning: “The instructions given between the lines in this book do not pose the slightest danger to anyone who is a man, only a man and no one but a man. Mebbie Klein asks all other mutangels, and especially infilopers (even if they do not remember who they are and consider themselves ordinary people), to take all necessary precautions when reading. Remember that a person is responsible only for his own life, and the Mutangels are responsible for everything that happens. Everywhere further: Didi = additional information for infilopers.”

The author Aya EN describes very strange world- maybe this is our Earth, or maybe one of its clones, one of parallel worlds. All the inhabitants of this planet are mutants who have developed amazing superpowers; there is only one non-mutant teenager left on the entire Earth, who is being monitored by a secret institute. He has a complex because he can neither fly nor pass through walls, and does not even realize that the fate of the whole world may depend on him. A young man is in love with a girl, but she is a mutant. And if she falls in love with him, she will disappear. But he doesn't know that yet. What is it like to be an ordinary person among a race of super beings? What is it like to be mutants on the planet of humans? And is it easy to be an angel who needs to protect both people and mutants?

Vostokov Stanislav “Frosya Korovina”

In a Vologda village, a girl named Frosya lives with her grandmother (while her parents, geologists, go on expeditions) and grows up to be a “real village woman” who knows how to manage a vegetable garden, fit another part that has fallen off an old house, and ski to school in a neighboring village. , and along the ice of the river to the regional center on skates...

Frosya and her grandmother Aglaya Ermolaevna live in the monument. Not in the statue, of course. In an architectural monument! And Frosya’s worries are sometimes not the same as those of an ordinary girl: not about new outfits and computer games, but about how to get to the city in the snow, how to manage the household alone if her grandmother is in the hospital (she had only one assistant - bear Gerasim). And then the house was stolen: the employees of the Museum of Wooden Architecture took it to the museum... The humorous story is suitable for readers from 10 years old. This book has amazing characters, wonderful humor, a lot of strange words like “underground” and “stupid”, and even fresh country air!

Dashevskaya Nina

Last year, Nina Dashevskaya made her debut as an author of children's literature and took part in the competition for the first time with her work “The Violin of an Unknown Master.” Then she managed to be among the finalists and win a special prize from the association of libraries in Yekaterinburg. Her book about a talking bicycle received top honors this year.

"This is a work about friendship and finding friends. About the fact that friends can be near us, but we don’t see them. And this is also a book about the fact that there is reality and there are dreams. It is generally accepted that dreams interfere with doing business, but I would like to show that dreams lead to real results,” explained Nina Dashevskaya.

This year one of the innovations was that children were able to choose their own winner, regardless of the opinion of the adult jury. It was a Samara writer Victoria Lederman and her work “Ma(y)ya Calendar”.

“This year we involved the children themselves in the judging. Because children are the ones for whom books are intended, for whom this literature is created. It is in vain to say that young people read little. The kids read, but it’s important what kind of literature gets into children’s hands,” said Larisa Krapivina, a member of the award’s literary council.

The chilling story "Death" dead souls!" Andrey Zhvalevsky and Evgenia Pasternak - an action-packed thriller, the action of which takes place in... a library.

The main characters are books. Children, however, also come across this, and many of them hate literature lessons. But at the end of the story, even those who previously fell asleep at the mention of, say, Lev Nikolayevich Tolstoy, begin to understand that not all classics are terribly boring, that “War and Peace”, it turns out, is very good, and they themselves rush to the library write fan fiction for school curriculum.

2nd place: Anastasia Maleiko (Russia, Chelyabinsk) “My mother loves an artist.”
