Children’s book week opens with prize presentation
The 57th children’s book week opens on Tuesday evening with a ball in the Muziektheater in Amsterdam, where the winner of the children’s literature prize the Gouden Griffel (golden pencil) will be announced.
During the ten-day event, hundreds of book shops, schools and libraries will hold special events connected with this year’s theme Super heroes: dare to be brave.
Sector organisation CPNB says children’s books sell well, with one in five books bought by or for children.
