E o prêmio vai para... Um olhar sobre a categoria criança e o livro ilustrado na premiação da FNLIJ.

Abstract

This article seeks to present the award from the National Foundation for Children and Youth Books, FNLIJ, which takes place since 1975 in Brazil, observing the category Child in the first four decades of the award. It manages to look at the children's book panorama from this point of view and offers a reading focused on the book's design and project, highlighting choices and graphic solutions of award winning works. The choice was made for the illustrated book to better observe the relationship between verb-pictorial narratives and to point out physical structure and visual language innovations present. From the corpus indicated, it is possible to follow the trajectory and development of the children's literary market, main plots, changes in the presentation of a story and the evolution of visual communication for the beginner reader.
