In 2010, David Almond (UK) was awarded the prize for writing and Jutta Bauer (Germany) for illustration.
The IBBY Honour List is a booklist selected biennially by the national sections of IBBY from recently published books, as works they want to introduce to children in foreign countries. This list consists of three categories: writing, illustration and translation. In 2010, 164 works were selected from 54 countries and regions. From Japan, “Fusion” by Kyoko Hamano, “Ushio” by Hideo Ito and “Daido to to-chan” by Tomoko Kodama were selected.
