When Miljul\u00f8tur (Miljas Moments) in April was nominated for the Nordic Council Children and Young People\u2019s Literature Prize 2019 there would be half a year of waiting to do, until the winner would be announced in Stockholm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This half year is the time span, where the book is nominated, a time, where the publisher can use the nomination for promotion, and where there might come some long wished for reviews and maybe possibilities for translations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For Miljul\u00f8tur it brought some reviews, a very nice one in bornebokkritik.no<\/a> and some smaller ones in Danish papers. The big thing it brought, was a contract for the Norwegian translation with Orkana Forlag<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What it also brought, was a voyage to Helsinki and Stockholm for the two creators, author and illustrator.<\/p>\n\n\n

I began my trip to Helsinki by taking 3 extra days in a town I have been in many times, but not had the time to explore. Here you can read of my small explorations.<\/p>\n\n\n

On October the 26 all the nominees for the two Nordic literature prizes were invited to the offices of Nordic Culture Point in Helsinki, where we had a lovely session of presentations. The best thing about this presentation was that no matter what category the authors were nominated for, whether it was for children, adolescents or adults, we were simply writers and illustrators presenting our works. The age of our readers was not relevant to this context. This is a rare occurrence; under ordinary circumstances the children and youth writers are presented in one group and then the “real” writers. The failure to comply with the order of cut meant that we then had five wonderful days together on an equal footing, as it always should be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
