MainIntro

MainBody

	2007 Banco del Libro (Venezuela) “In a true pioneering spirit, with ingenuity and a sheer determination, the Banco del Libro has constantly sought new ways of disseminating books and promoting reading among children in Venezuela.“
	2006 Katherine Paterson (USA) Born in 1932, when Katherine goes out to talk to children in schools, they're often surprised that someone of her age can understand exactly how they feel and think. She answers by saying that she was once a child too and still remembers just how it feels.
	2005 Ryôji Arai (Japan) It's not good to be over clever when you draw, thinks the Japanese artist Ryoji Arai, and that's why he sometimes draws with his wrong hand.
	2005 Philip Pullman (United Kingdom) When Philip Pullman was little he wanted to be a girl called Margot. But when the grown-ups laughed at him, he realised it was an aspiration that was best kept to himself.
	2004 Lygia Bojunga (Brasil) Lygia Bojunga has said that a book is like a person: "A book needs time to grow, just like a person. A book shouldn't be a shallow, mass-media thing that's extremely popular one day and then is forgotten the next."
	2003 Christine Nöstlinger (Austria) "I've never been so happy as when I was I child, but never so unhappy either," said Christine Nöstlinger when she received the Astrid Lindgren Memorial Award in Stockholm 2003.
	2003 Maurice Sendak (USA) Maurice Sendak has said that he draws children in the way that they perceive themselves. "Or rather as I think they perceive themselves. It's the way I felt when I was small".
