Author: Cao Wenxuan
Hans Christian Andersen Award (2016), Peking University professor, and member of the Chinese Writers Association’s national committee Cao Wenxuan is one of China’s most influential authors of children’s books. He has written over fifty books, and won over forty awards. His works have been translated into many languages, including English, German, French, Russian, Swedish, Spanish, Japanese and Korean. In recent years he has been working on picture books for Chinese children, and has written Feather, Silly Chicken, Chrysanthemum Doll, Big Fish Travels to the Sea, The Last Leopard, and Streetlamp No. 8. His words are at once beautifully poetic and deeply philosophical, and he is a far reaching figure in the field of original Chinese picture books. The international rights for his books have been sold to countries such as France, Japan, Sweden, Korea, Brazil, and the books have twice won the Outstanding Book Award from the China General Administration of Press and Publication. In 2013, six of his books, including Chrysanthemum Doll, were recipients of the Chinese Government Award for Publishing. Feather was voted “Children’s Book of the Year”, whilst Call of the Sky was one of the “50 Books Most Loved by the Public”.
