Picture books, fairy tales, children’s books, novels… even tactile picture books for the blind.
What connects the Lemniscaat titles are a passion for real-life people – authors, illustrators and readers – and the belief that books can contribute to a better world.
A book can earn its place at Lemniscaat only if it is unique, if it creates a world of its own. A world of vibrant, vivid colours, painted with lines and colours in picture books, or painted in words in children’s books or young-adult fiction.
A world where there’s no shying away from burdensome topics, but where a spirit of humour and the ability to put things in perspective leave the reader with a contented feeling – whether the response has been laughter, tears, or both.
In short: a World of Wonder.
