IBBY (International Board on Books for Young People), a non-profit organization which represents an international network of people from all over the world who are committed to bringing books and children together, was founded in 1953.
The Hans Christian Andersen Award is presented biennially to a living author and illustrator, whose complete works have made a lasting contribution to children's books. In 2020, the winner of the author award was Jacqueline Woodson (USA) while the illustrator award went to Albertine (Switzerland).
The IBBY Honour List is a booklist made biennially by the national sections of IBBY from books recently published in each country. This list consists of three categories: writing, illustration and translation, which represent their national children's books. In 2020, 179 works in 48 different languages were selected from 60 countries. From Japan, Kimi no sonzai o ishiki suru (Sensing your presence) by NASHIYA Arie was selected for writing, Yoru no oto (Night sounds) by TAMURA Shigeru was selected for illustration and Aoi tsuki no ishi (Blue moonstone. Orig. Dutch: De blauwe maansteen by Tonke Dragt) by NISHIMURA Yumi for translation.
