Wow, this is awesome: every second year IBBY (International Board on Books for Young people)
composes the Honour List, an 'overview of children's and youth books of outstanding quality'. Every country within IBBY chooses one book for each of the three categories. In the category 'text' the Dutch jury picked
Gloei, my book with poems and interviews with young LGBTQIA+-people. I made this book together with illustrator Floor de Goede. It was published by
Querido, Amsterdam.
The winning books will be on display during several book fairs, and will permanently be shown in for example the Honour-Listcollection of the Internationale Jugendbibliothek in Munich.
In the illustration category the wonderful Alfabet, by Charlotte Dematons, was awarded. Click here for the full list.
