A Fairytale Video

The Landshut State Library’s Youth Reading Club produced a fabulous video presenting my book Future Fairy Tales, their German Children’s Literature Award nominee for the Best Teen Read (Preis der Jugendjury) 2023. Take a look!

Nominated!

Incredible, but true! Future Fairy Tales (Rotfuchs/Rowohlt Verlag) was nominated by the Youth Jury for the German Youth Literature Prize, the most prestigious award in Germany for children’s and teen reads, akin to the Newbery and Caldecott Medals in the US. I am both thrilled and grateful. What a gift! What an honor!
