Bologna Ragazzi Opera Prima Award 2020

edit

In 2020 Puck Koper won the Bologna Ragazzi Opera Prima Award with her book Where is your sister. Internationally the highest award for best debuting children's book in the world.

Quote from the jury report by Marcella Terrusi:

"Opera Prima (Debut work) category candidates always contain interesting editorial projects. They testify to courage on the part of publishers to take on new authors at the outset of their careers but also to the courage of new authors and artists to seek out their own voice and story-telling ability. These two elements have come together perfectly in the award-winning book Where is Your Sister? – a hide-and-seek book, a well-paced visual game that will delight young readers as they try and find a little girl who gets separated from her family in a large shopping centre. The amusing patterns of the characters’ clothes are a guide for the reader’s eye, in this mature albeit debut work."[1]

“An animated, funny children's book distilled into clean lines, limited flat pallet, geometric shapes where in crowded pages readers are encouraged to search and find, as a child gets away from her mother and sister in a department store, and ultimately earns cake. Playing with the universal fear of losing."[2]
