Estonian Book Award Recognizes Diverse Voices in Children’s Literature Tiiu Kitsik has been awarded the prestigious Estonian Book Award, recognizing her work as an author and illustrator. The selection highlights a year of notable achievements in children’s and young adult literature. This year’s award process involved a collaborative effort, with experts and representatives from the Children’s Protection Union jointly choosing seven outstanding works from the 2025 best children’s and young adult books. A total of 18 books were selected for children and 11 were chosen for young readers from a pool of 700 books published last year. Notably, the Children’s Protection Union’s young people presented a special award, supplementing the traditional selection. Children’s rights ambassadors, acting as recommendations for their peers, played a key role in compiling the young adult book list. The selection process reflects a focus on active protagonists and complex choices within the nominated books. This initiative underscores the importance of providing diverse reading material for children and young people within Estonia.
