The Astrid Lindgren Memorial Award is the World’s Largest Children’s Literature Award. 5 000 000 SEK (approx 700 000 USD/ 500 000 EUR) are awarded each year to one or more authors, illustrators, promoters of reading or oral storytellers.
The Award aims to strenghten and increase interest in children’s and young adult literature world-wide, and to strengthen children’s rights at a global level. The attention garnered by the award leads to more translations and to more children having access to high-quality literature.
