Golden Griffel Award for 'Maantje Moves the Sea' by Tuesday's deceased author Sjoerd Kuyper
Author Sjoerd Kuyper posthumously received the Golden Griffel award for his children's book Maantje verhuist de zee shortly before his death. The jury praised the work for its literary craftsmanship in addressing death with openness. Karst-Janneke Rogaar won her first Golden Pen award for illustrating and writing Lucy en Donker, which depicts a child's experience of seeing in the dark. The official ceremony will take place during the Children's Book Ball on Friday, preceding the start of Children's Book Week on September 30.
