| Since 1952, we’ve convened a rotating annual panel of three expert judges who consider every illustrated children’s book published that year in the United States. In 2017, we began partnering with the New York Public Library to administer the honor now called The New York Times/New York Public Library Best Illustrated Children’s Books Award. |
| 自1952年以来，我们每年都会召集由三名专家评审组成的轮流评审小组，评审当年在美国出版的所有儿童绘本。2017年，我们开始与纽约公共图书馆合作，管理这项现在被称为《纽约时报》/纽约公共图书馆最佳儿童绘本奖的荣誉。 |
| The judges select the 10 winners purely on the basis of artistic merit. On the 2021 panel were Catherine Hong, a children’s literature critic; Jessica Agudelo, a youth collections librarian at the New York Public Library; and Paul O. Zelinsky, a Caldecott Medal-winning illustrator of many acclaimed picture books — most recently “Red and Green and Blue and White,” by Lee Wind — and a past winner of the award. |
| 评委们纯粹根据艺术价值来选择10本获奖图书。2021年的评委包括儿童文学评论家凯瑟琳·洪；纽约公共图书馆青少年藏书管理员杰西卡·阿古德洛；以及卡尔迪科特奖获奖插画家保罗·O·泽林斯基，他创作了许多广受赞誉的绘本，最近的作品是李·温德的《红、绿、蓝、白》(Red and Green and Blue and White)，他以前也曾获得本奖项。 |

| I Am the Subway |
| 《我是地铁》(I Am the Subway) |
| Written and illustrated by Kim Hyo-eunTranslated from the Korean by Deborah Smith |
| 图文：金孝恩（音），由黛博拉·史密斯译自韩文 |
| The opening subway scenes suggest yet another picture book interested more in elegant design and beautiful, muted watercolor than in people or stories. But as the narrator (a subway train!) starts describing its life and the lives of its riders, gray faceless figures take on detail and luminous color — a trove of richness we had no access to when they were strangers to us. A brilliant turnaround, a great concept and an endearing book. Not to mention its elegant design and beautiful watercolor. |
| 开头的地铁场景表明这本绘本更注重优雅的设计，以及美丽柔和的水彩，而不是人物或故事。但当叙述者（一列地铁！）开始描述自己和乘客的生活时，灰色的、没有面孔的人物就呈现出细节和明亮的色彩——这是一座丰富的宝库，当我们对它们很陌生的时候是无法接触到的。一个绝妙的转折，一个精彩的概念和一本可爱的书。更不用说它优雅的设计和美丽的水彩了。 |

| The Night Walk |
| 《夜行》(The Night Walk) |
| Written and illustrated by Marie Dorléans |
| 图文：玛丽·多利恩斯 |
| Awash in nocturnal blue, Dorléans’s graphite pencil illustrations of a family of nighttime explorers evoke a luminous sense of wonder. From bedside lamps to the delicate beam of stars, hints of light punctuate each spread, cleverly directing the reader’s attention to hidden details — an owl atop a tree, a badger skulking in the grass, a pair of mice among the rocks — and reflecting the warm bond of a family. |
| 多利恩斯的铅笔插画沉浸在夜晚的蓝色中，描绘了一个夜间探险家庭，带来一种闪闪发光的惊奇感。从床头灯到微妙的星光，每张图上都有光的提示，巧妙地将读者的注意力引向隐藏的细节——树顶上的猫头鹰，草丛中溜达的獾，岩石间的一对老鼠——并且反映出家庭的温暖纽带。 |

| Time Is a Flower |
| 《时间是一朵花》(Time Is a Flower) |
| Written and illustrated by Julie Morstad |
| 图文：朱莉·莫斯塔德 |
| An exploration of the concept of time is a daunting premise for a children’s book, but Morstad pulls it off with panache. Her warm, friendly renderings in pencil, marker and ink distill the book’s abstract ideas — does time move slowly or quickly, in a straight line or a circle? — with ingenuity and simplicity. The judges also appreciated Morstad’s judicious use of empty space, which leaves ample room for thought. |
| 对于一本儿童读物来说，探索时间的概念是一个令人生畏的主题，但莫斯塔德却以华丽的风格完成了它。她的铅笔、马克笔和墨水渲染温暖友好，巧妙而又简单提炼出了这本书的抽象概念——时间是慢还是快，是直线还是圆圈？评委们也很欣赏莫斯塔德对留白的明智利用，给人们留下了充分的思考空间。 |

| It Fell From the Sky |
| 《从天而降》(It Fell From the Sky) |
| Written and illustrated by Terry Fan and Eric Fan |
| 图文：特里·范和埃里克·范 |
| Step right up and gaze upon the Fan brothers’ latest surreal world, featuring a cast of stylish insects, fitted with fanciful hats, as they marvel at the sight of an unfamiliar orb. Black-and-white graphite drawings, brilliant pops of color and a fiendishly expressive spider, all scrupulously rendered, convey the feel of a silent film. |
| 来看看范氏兄弟最新的超现实世界吧，主角是一群时髦的昆虫，戴着稀奇古怪的帽子，对面前陌生的球体感到惊奇。黑白铅笔画，明亮迸发的色彩，还有一只极具表现力的蜘蛛，这些都经过精心渲染，带来一种默片的感觉。 |

| The Little Wooden Robot and the Log Princess |
| 《小木头机器人和原木公主》(The Little Wooden Robot and the Log Princess) |
| Written and illustrated by Tom Gauld |
| 图文：汤姆·高尔德 |
| This remixed fairy tale was an instant hit with our judges, who admired the way Gauld’s comics-style illustrations are simultaneously flat-out simple (its main characters are, after all, stick figures) and complex (the royal inventor’s chockablock workshop). Meticulous, diagrammatic and, yes, awfully cute, these boldly outlined, crosshatched images amplify the story’s deadpan humor and are as delightful to behold as the story’s happily-ever-after ending. |
| 这个混搭风的童话故事一下就受到了评委们的欢迎，我们欣赏高尔德的漫画风插图，它既简单（毕竟它的主要人物是简笔小人），又复杂（里面有皇家发明家挤得满满当当的工作室）。这些大胆勾勒、交叉阴影的画面细节丰富、清晰、而且非常可爱，它们放大了故事的冷幽默，和故事的幸福结局一样令人愉快。。 |

| 《走吧！咱们过桥》(¡Vamos! Let’s Cross the Bridge) |
| Written and illustrated by Raúl the ThirdColors by Elaine Bay |
| 文：劳尔三世，图：伊莱恩·贝。 |
| Raúl the Third’s dynamic use of panels draws attention to every corner of the page, bursting with clever detail. His vivid cartoon style is enlivened by his signature hand lettering and Elaine Bay’s palette of purple tones, creating a visually rich and utterly fun homage to border town life. |
| 劳尔三世用灵动的分格将读者的注意力吸引到页面的每个角落，到处都是巧妙的细节。他鲜艳的卡通风格因标志性的手写字体和伊莱恩·贝的紫色色调而生机勃勃，创造了丰富且充满乐趣的画面，是向边境城镇生活的致敬。 |

| While You’re Sleeping |
| 《当你睡觉时》(While You’re Sleeping) |
| Written by Mick JacksonIllustrated by John Broadley |
| 文：米克·杰克逊著，图：约翰·布罗德利 |
| In one of the year’s most unusual-looking books, Broadley has turned a quiet meditation on nighttime, both sleepy and sleepless, into a manically pulsating graphic experience that is as rewarding as it is unexpected. With the look of elaborate colored woodcuts, the highly stylized pictures transport us to a world of their own. |
| 在今年最不寻常的书籍之一中，布罗德利将夜间的安静冥想，无论是困乏还是不眠，变成了一种疯狂颤动着的图画体验，既有益又出乎意料。凭借精心制作的彩色木刻风格，高度风格化的图片将我们带入了一个自己的世界。 |

| Unspeakable: The Tulsa Race Massacre |
| 《不可言说：塔尔萨种族大屠杀》(Unspeakable: The Tulsa Race Massacre) |
| Written by Carole Boston WeatherfordIllustrated by Floyd Cooper |
| 文：卡罗尔·波士顿·韦瑟福德，图：弗洛伊德·库珀 |
| “Unspeakable” tells the story of the thriving Black community of Tulsa, Okla., and its destruction at the hands of racist mobs on one terrible day in 1921. To know that Cooper’s own grandfather was a member of that community, and passed down stories about the day, adds yet more dimension to the profound emotion this book elicits. Small wonder that Cooper’s exquisitely rendered faces are masterpieces of empathy. Bold in design, subtle in color, “Unspeakable” is Cooper’s last book; he died in July. |
| 《不可言说》讲述了在1921年一个可怕的日子，俄克拉荷马州塔尔萨市繁荣的黑人社区被种族主义暴徒摧毁的故事。库珀的祖父正是该社区的一员，将关于这一天的故事传下来，这就为这本书引发的深刻情感增添了更多维度。库珀精致渲染的面孔毫无疑问是共情的杰作。设计大胆，色彩微妙，《不可言说》是库珀的最后一本书；他于7月去世。 |

| Keeping the City Going |
| 《城市运转》(Keeping the City Going) |
| Written and illustrated by Brian Floca |
| 图文：布赖恩·弗洛卡 |
| Floca’s images of New York City and the essential workers who have kept the city alive throughout the Covid-19 pandemic are conjured in delicate lines and subdued watercolor hues, beautifully echoing the quiet, often unsung nature of their heroism. Refreshingly, there are no clichéd street scenes of the Big Apple here. Floca has captured an insider’s view of the transformed city with love and tenderness. |
| 弗洛卡以精致的线条和柔和的水彩色调描绘了大流行期间的纽约市，以及让这座城市保持活力的必要行业工作者的形象，优美地呼应了这些通常默默无闻的无名英雄。令人耳目一新的是，这本书里没有那些老套的“大苹果”纽约街头的景象。弗洛卡以爱和温柔捕捉了这些业内人士对城市转变的看法。 |

| On the Other Side of the Forest |
| 《在森林的另一边》(On the Other Side of the Forest) |
| Written by Nadine RobertIllustrated by Gérard DuBois |
| 文：纳丁·罗伯特，图：杰拉尔·杜波依斯 |
| With its anthropomorphized characters dressed in knickers and its murky, moody palette, this book — about a young bunny and his father who long to know what’s on the other side of a forbidding forest — feels like a vintage gem. While the images channel some of the comforting qualities of Beatrix Potter’s, they also have unsettling and surreal qualities that recall artists like Henry Darger and Amy Cutler, lending this fable-like story a tantalizing undercurrent of darkness. |
| 本书讲述了一只小兔子和他父亲的故事，他们渴望知道在令人生畏的森林的另一边是什么样的世界。穿着短裤的拟人化角色和昏暗、郁郁寡欢的色调让本书显得像一颗复古珍宝。虽然插画让人想起碧翠丝·波特作品中的某种宽慰人心的特质，但也让人想起亨利·达格和艾米·卡特勒等艺术家令人感到扰动和超现实的部分，为这个寓言式的故事增添了一种诱人的阴暗基调。 |
