The Astrid Lindgren Memorial Prize ceremony took place yesterday on june 9 at the Stockholm Concert House. Marion Brunet is the laureate of the 2025 Astrid Lindgren Memorial Award.
French author Marion Brunet received the 2025 Astrid Lindgren Memorial Award. The award diploma was presented by H.R.H. Prince Carl Philip.
Klara Bartilsson illustrated the diploma, which was handwritten by Helena Öhman.
“Marion Brunet’s books take place in a fiercely pulsating present with climate crisis and social vulnerability as recurring themes. In shimmering and crystal-clear prose, young people are portrayed in revolt against a corrupt society. The dark and violent parts of our world are explored in Brunet’s timely narratives, which are made timeless by their links to myth and folklore. And counterforces are found in friendship, solidarity, and the beauty of nature.”
