<\/h3>\n

This year\u2019s nominees span the entire Nordic Region with works from all countries and language areas. The books deal with life difficulties that children and young people are confronted with in the form of absent parents, bullying and loneliness, as well as bigger social problems such as violence, war, and fleeing difficult situations. Human power over nature, our smallness and our responsibility are also brought up, while the works also look at nature\u2019s roles as a haven for play, and as a source of hope, comfort, and reflection.<\/p>\n

About the Nordic Council Children and Young People\u2019s Literature Prize:<\/strong><\/em>
\nThe Nordic Council Children and Young People\u2019s Literature Prize was first awarded in 2013. The prize was born out of the long-standing desire of the Nordic ministers for culture to strengthen and highlight literature for children and young people in the Nordic Region. The prize goes to a literary work for children and young people written in one of the Nordic languages. The work can combine text and images, and must meet high literary and artistic standards.<\/em><\/p>\n
