ALA 150 Anniversary

The winners of this year ( well, in fact the last year, 2025) awards were a joy and a surprise all at once. Creating good art for children is becoming more and more challenging and both sides, creator and reader, have their one journey to take.

We were lucky enough to be able to read some of the medalist and here they are.

Enjoy!

The Twelve Days of Christmas Dogs

by Chris Dunn

Have you ever heard of a Christmas Dog before? Is a distant relative of the other Christmas animals: elfs, reindeers, santa’s helpers I cannot remember right now.

Of Chris Dunn I am sure you’ve heard before, he is one of the most talented illustrators that live and work among us. And one of my personal favourites, so I couldn’t wait to get his last book, the traditional Christmas Carol in the dog version. They are all so cute! , my daughter said after finishing the book. And with the white landscape of Central Park on the cover, you meet one of the most beautiful Christmas books you ever red. And one of the great books of 2025. So how else is counting the days until Christmas?
