The Hans Christian Andersen Award
The Hans Christian Andersen Award, sometimes known as the "Little Nobel Prize", is an international award given every two years by the International Board on Books for Young People to an author and illustrator, living at the time of nomination, whose complete works have made a lasting contribution to children's literature.
The award, named after the Danish author Hans Christian Andersen, is the highest international recognition given to an author and an illustrator of children's books.
The Author's Award has been given since 1956 and the Illustrator's Award since 1966.
