04.05.2020 Die 1967 geborene Genfer Zeichnerin und Illustratorin Albertine (Albertine Zullo, Bild) erhält den diesjährigen Hans-Christian-Andersen-Preis für ihr Gesamtwerk. Albertine illustriert gedruckte und elektronische Publikationen und hat zahlreiche Bilderbücher veröffentlicht. Im Bereich Text geht die Auszeichnung an die US-amerikanische Autorin Jacqueline Woodson. Der Preis ist nach dem dänischen Schriftsteller Hans Christian Andersen (1805–1875) benannt und gilt als die wichtigste internationale Auszeichnung für KinderbuchautorInnen und -illustratorInnen. Daher wird dieser internationale Kinder- und Jugendliteraturpreis auch als "kleiner Nobelpreis" bezeichnet. Er wird vom International Board on Books for Young People durch ein international besetztes Kuratorium aus mittlerweile 70 Ländern alle zwei Jahre verliehen. Der Preis ist ein reiner Ehrenpreis mit einer Goldmedaille. Schirmherrin ist die dänische Königin Margrethe II.

Switzerland - Illustrator
Albertine
Albertine was born in 1967 in Dardagny, near Geneva. She studied at the École des arts décoratifs and the École supérieure d'art visuel in Geneva. She obtained her diploma in 1990 and opened a screen-printing workshop in the same year. She became a press illustrator a year later and in 1996 she married the writer Germano Zullo. Their many joint children's publications have received several awards, including: BIB Golden Apple in 1999 for Marta et la bicyclette (Marta and the bicycle); Prix Suisse Jeunesse et Médias in 2009; Prix Sorcières in 2011 and New York Times Book Review Best Illustrated Book in 2012.
Her drawings are lively and full of humour using a very fine line (pencil or Rotring) and often bright and cheerful colours (gouache or digital). Her natural spontaneity appears throughout her works, with a sense of detail and an infinite precision, as well as a sense of humour.
She has exhibited her drawings, screen prints, lithographic works, wood engravings, objects and notebooks in Geneva, Paris, Rome, Valencia and Tokyo.
Among her most important books for children are the titles: La rumeur de Venise (The Venice
rumour, 2009), which
was selected for the 2010 IBBY Honour List; Les
Oiseaux (Little bird, 2011);
Les Gratte-Ciel (Sky high, 2011); and Ligne 135 (Line 135, 2012). Her book, Mon tout petit (My little one,
2015), an endless embrace between mother and child that unwinds in a flipbook,
was selected for the 2016 IBBY Honour List; it won the 2016 Bologna Ragazzi
Award and won the Green Island Award at the Nami Island Concours in 2017. She
was a Finalist for the 2018 Hans Christian Andersen Award and her book, Les Oiseaux, was included in
the list of books highlighted by the Andersen Jury as an outstanding work.

USA - Author
Jacqueline Woodson
Jacqueline Woodson was born in Columbus, Ohio in 1963, and shortly thereafter moved with her mother and siblings to Greenville, South Carolina where she spent much of her early formative years in the care of her maternal grandparents. At age seven she moved to Brooklyn, New York where she has since lived. She studied at Adelphi University and at the New School in New York and then worked as an editorial assistant and drama therapist for runaway children.
Though a slow reader, she began writing as a child and now has a prolific body of writing including picture books, books for middle grade readers, and especially young adult literature. She made her debut as an author in 1990 with Last Summer With Maizon, the first book in a trilogy about a friendship between two girls. In the same year she also published The Dear One, a story about teen pregnancy. Her thirty-three books and thirteen short stories range in subjects from foster care to interracial relationships, from drug abuse to the witness protection programme, but all share the common features of lyrical language, powerful characters, and an abiding sense of hope.
In 2014, her autobiographical work Brown Girl Dreaming was the winner of the National Book Award and Coretta Scott King Award and is a Newbery Honor book. It is the centrepiece of her oeuvre: her first-hand experiences of how African-Americans were treated differently in the North and South, where her own path to becoming a writer is woven in with her life experiences.
Jacqueline Woodson was a Finalist for the 2016 Hans Christian Andersen Award
and won the Astrid Lindgren Memorial Award in 2018. After serving as Young
People's Poet Laureate from 2015-17 she was named National Ambassador for Young
People's Literature for 2018-19.
