Press Release N° 2002-105
ANTONIO SKÁRMETA (Chile) AND
JENNY ROBSON (South Africa) WIN 2003 UNESCO CHILDREN’S BOOK PRIZE
Paris, December 17 – Antonio Skármeta
from Chile and Jenny Robson from South Africa were today named winners
of the 2003 UNESCO Prize for Children’s and Young People’s Literature in
the Service of Tolerance by UNESCO Director-General Koichïro Matsuura.
Skármeta’s book, La Composición
(The Composition), illustrated by Alonso Ruano and published in Venezuela
by Ediciones Ekaré, won the first prize in the category of books
for children under 13 years old. The story is about a boy living
with his family under a military dictatorship. He sees the father
of one of his school-friends taken away in an army jeep. One day
a man in uniform visits the school and asks the children to write a composition
about “What my family does at night.” With the creative force of
a child’s words, Pedro invents a story that will save his parents from
coming under suspicion.
Robson was the winner in the category
of books for 13-18-year-olds with Because Pula Means Rain, published in
Cape Town by Tafelberg. It tells the story of Emmanuel, an albino
child who lives in a small village in Botswana with his grandmother.
His greatest wish is to be brown like everybody else and not be shunned
by them. The writer deals with all kinds of discrimination and says
that “in such a wide and open land spread out under such a wide and open
sky, there is room enough for many beliefs and many truths.”
The two winners get $8,000 each, donated
by the Spanish publishers SM, which sponsors the prize. The jury
also awarded four Honourable Mentions in each category.
In the under-13s, these were: Wir alle
für immer zusammen (All of Us Together Forever), the German version
of a book originally written in Dutch by Guus Kuijer, translated by Sylke
Hachmeister and published in Hamburg by Verlag Friedrich Oetinger;
Meu
Vô Apolinário (My Grandpa Apolinário), by Brazilian
writer Daniel Munduruku, illustrated by Rogério Borges and published
in Brazil by Studio Nobel; Huff Bluff, written in Arabic by Egyptian
author Amal Farah, illustrated by Safaa Naba’a and published in Egypt by
Al-Shourouq; and Nips XI, by Australian Ruth Starke, published in Australia
by Lothian Books.
In the 13-18 category, the Honourable
Mentions were: Caged Eagles, by Canadian author Eric Walters, published
in Canada by Orca Book Publishers; Grenzen (Borders), written in
Dutch by Belgian Katrien Seynaeve and published in Belgium by Averbode;
El Diario Violeta de Carlota (Carlota’s Violet Diary), by Spanish writer
Gemma Lienas, published in Spanish by Alba and in Catalan by Empúries;
and Le Meilleur Choix (The Best Choice), a collective cartoon story published
in French in Burundi by Studio A.V. Buja.
UNESCOPRESS/2002-105 - 2
The prize, founded in 1995 and awarded
every two years, drew 353 entries written in 36 languages from 54 countries.
All were read by independent judges who produced a shortlist of 55, which
were considered by an international jury in Paris on December 9 and 10.
The prizes will be presented at the
Children’s Book Fair in Bologna (Italy) in April, 2003.
