Who owns the clouds?, by Gérard DuBois and Mario Brassard, won the Ragazzi Prize in the fiction category, while Sacred Monsters – Journey to the Heart of Volcanoes, by Julie Roberge and Aless MC, stands out in the category nonfiction (documentary).
It is a first in the history of the Ragazzi Awards that a publishing house is awarded simultaneously in both categories.
Who owns the clouds?, who also deserved a Governor General’s Award, immerses us in the memories of Mila, who knew the war. As for Sacred Monsters: Journey to the Heart of Volcanoesthis is a journey through the most famous lava monsters.
Let us recall that the editions of La Pastèque won a Ragazzi prize eight years ago for the album Marguerite’s Christmas of India Desjardins and Pascal Blanchet.
The Ragazzi Prizes are in a way the Gala of the Oscars of children’s literature.
