Hans Christian Andersen Award Exhibit | About the Hans Christian Andersen Award

The Hans Christian Andersen Collection at Northwestern: Illustrated Children's Books from Around the World - July 27th through September 9th, 2004

Every other year the International Board on Books for Young People (IBBY) presents the Hans Christian Andersen Medal to one author and one illustrator whose body of work has made a lasting contribution to children’s literature. Often called the “Little Nobel Prize,” this award, consisting of a gold medal and a diploma, is considered the highest international recognition that can be bestowed upon a living author or illustrator for children. For more about the award, some informative sites, as well as the text of Jeffrey Garrett's recent laudatio for the winners, are listed on the links page.
