By Dennis Abrams With the opening of this year’s Bologna Children’s Book Fair just days away, it seems an appropriate time for the shortlist for Children’s Book Ireland (CBI) to announce its 23rd annual Children’s Book of the Year Awards. Ten titles will compete for six awards, including the innovative “Children’s Choice Award” voted for by ten junior juries located throughout Ireland. The winners will be announced at a ceremony to be held on May 8th. The shortlisted titles are: - The Terrible Thing That Happened to Barnaby Brocket by John Boyne, illustrated by Oliver Jeffers (Random House — London) - The Weight of Water by Sarah Crossan (Bloomsbury — London) - Hong by Anna Heussaff (Cio lar-Chonnacht — Galway) - Na Laochra is Lu by Laoise Ni Cleirigh, illustrated by Steve Simpson (An Gum – Dublin) - Spellbound: Tales of Enchantment from Ancient Ireland by Siobhan Parkinson, illustrated by Olwyn Whelan (Frances Lincoln — London) - Mise agus an Dragun by Patricia Forde, illustrated by Steve Simpson (Futa Futa — Galway) - Dark Warning by Marie Louise Fitzpatrick (Orion — London) - Oh No, George! by Chris Haughton (Walker — London) - This Moose Belongs to Me by Oliver Jeffers (Harper Collins — London) - Grounded by Sheena Wilkinson (Little Island — Dublin) Padraic Whyte, chair of the judging panel said of the list, “The ten books on this year’s shortlist offer children and young people from a broad age group rich and satisfying reading experiences. Many of the books engage with difficult contemporary issues while others are stories of whimsy and fun. This is a wonderfully diverse shortlist that highlights the literary and artistic excellence of current Irish Children’s Literature.” Founded in 1990, The CBI Book of the Year Awards are the leading children’s book awards in Ireland, a celebration of excellence in children’s literature and illustration open to picture books and novels written in English or Irish by authors and illustrators born or resident in Ireland and published between January 1st and December 31st each year.

LITRÍOCHT : Tá trí leabhar Gaeilge ar an ghearr-liosta don ghradam is mó do litríocht do pháistí in Éirinn. The shortlist for the 23rd CBI Book of the Year Awards was revealed today, Tuesday March 19th 2013. Each of the ten titles will compete for six awards. ‘Mise agus an Dragún’ le Patricia Forde, deartha le Steve Simpson, ‘Na Laochra is Lú’ le Laoise Ní Cléirigh agus deartha le Steve Simpson agus ‘Hóng’ le Anna Heussaff na trí leabhar atá ar ar ghearrliosta ghradaim Children’s Books Ireland (CBI). Tá clú agus cáil ar na gradaim seo a bunaíodh i 1990 agus glactar leis gurb iad na gradaim is tábhachtaí ó thaobh litríocht na nÓg de in Éirinn. Seo an gearr-liosta iomlán The Terrible Thing That Happened to Barnaby Brocket by John Boyne and illustrated by Oliver Jeffers The Weight of Water by Sarah Crossan Hóng by Anna Heussaff Na Laochra is Lú by Laoise Ní Cléirigh and illustrated by Steve Simpson Spellbound by Siobhán Parkinson and illustrated by Olwyn Whelan Mise agus an Dragún by Patricia Forde and illustrated by Steve Simpson Dark Warning by Marie Louise Fitzpatrick Oh No, George! by Chris Haughton This Moose Belongs to Me by Oliver Jeffers Grounded by Sheena Wilkinson Níos mó eolas faoina leabhair Ghaeilge HÓNG by Anna Heussaff Publisher: Cló Iar-Chonnacht (Galway) Tá Evan agus an cara is fearr leis, Rio, gafa le cluiche iontach ar líne darbh ainm Hóng. Tá saol iomlán difriúil i Hóng, i gcomparáid leis an léamhthuirse a bhíonn i mBaile an Chuain ó thús go deireadh na bliana. Athraíonn an scéal seo go tobann nuair a fhaigheann Evan teachtaireachtaí aisteacha ó imreoir eile ar líne leis an leasainm Yin. Níl mórán ar eolas ag Evan faoi Yin ach cuirtear in iúl do go bhfuil Yang i ndainséir agus é i mbun poist in Éirinn. Tuairiscí an Mholtóra: Lonnaithe in Éirinn na haoise seo, is scéal ar leith é seo ina bhfuil eachtraíocht, cluichíocht agus teicneolaíocht, cairdeas agus mistéir fite fuaite lena chéile. Is leagan údarach, fíréanta é seo de shaol an óige in Éirinn inniu ina bhfeicimid Gaeilgeoirí déagóra ag dul i ngleic le domhain an Bhéarla. NA LAOCHRA IS LÚ le Laoise Ní Chléirigh agus Steve Simpson (illus.) Publisher: An Gum (Dublin) Tá gach ní socruithe, suaimhneach i Rinn Duáin go dtí go bhfilleann An Taibhse Dána tar éis a bheith díbirte ar feadh seacht mbliana taobh istigh de shliogán. Beartaíonn sé leanúint leis an slad agus an raic a thosaigh sé na blianta fada ó shin; iompar a bhí mar chúis a dhíbirte ar dtús báire. Nuair a fheictear do Rian, Rí na Síoga, go bhfuil An Taibhse Dána ar ais agus ag déanamh ionsaí ar iascairí bhochta neamhurchóideacha, beartaíonn sé beirt dá shíoga a roghnú chun ruaig a chur ar an dtaibhse. Tuairiscí an Mholtóra: Fréamhaithe in Éirinn an miotas agus na finscéalaíochta, is scéal simplí, leithleach, spreagúil é seo a leanann beirt shíog agus iad ar thuras gaiscíochta chun cinntiú go mbeidh lámh in uachtar ag maitheas ar an olc. MISE AGUS AN DRAGÚN le Patricia Forde agus Steve Simpson( Illus). Futa Fata Buailimid le béirín ag tús an leabhair; béirín beag le huaillmhian iontach. Ba mhaith leis dul ag seilg dragúin nuair a bheidh sé mór. Téann sé ar thuras samhlaíochta sa leabhar thar sléibhte arda, trí choillte fiáine, go hard sa spéir, thar mara, timpeall ar chaisleán agus amach sa spás ar thóir dragún fíochmhar a ghlacann sé mar pheata. Níl eagla ar an bhéir roimh mórán ina dtuairim féin, agus ceapann sé go mbeidh go leor ratha aige mar shealgaire. Sin é mura gcasann sé ar dhriseacha, dorchadas, áiteanna arda, tintreach, deatach nó ba. Cuireann an béirín in iúl dúinn go bhfuil sé cróga ach tuigimid go bhfuil níos mó faitíos air ná mar a ligeann sé air, de réir mar a théann an scéal ar aghaidh. Is scéal álainn é seo faoin tsamhlaíocht, faoi uaillmhianta agus na rudaí beaga a chuireann eagla an domhain orainn. Tuairiscí an Mholtóra: Tá gnéithe ó bhéal agus gnéithe físeacha fite fuaite le chéile go héifeachtach sa leabhar seo, ina ndírítear isteach ar eagla pháiste óg. Foghlaimíonn an léitheoir nach féidir linn bheith cróga nó inár laochra gan eagla a bheith orainn in uaireanta.
