Η κριτική επιτροπή των διεθνών βραβείων λογοτεχνίας για παιδιά Χανς Κρίστιαν Άντερσεν προχώρησε στην δημιουργίας μιας λίστας με εξαιρετικούς τίτλους από άλλους υποψηφίους για το βραβείο του 2018 και του 2020, θεωρώντας ότι είναι ιδιαιτέρως σημαντικοί και αξίζουν να μεταφραστούν παντού ώστε να τα γνωρίσουν όσο το δυνατόν περισσότερο παιδιά.
Ανάμεσά τους το εξαιρετικό βιβλίο της Αργυρώς Πιπίνη και της Ίριδας Σαμαρτζή Καλοκαίρι, φθινόπωρο, χειµώνας, άνοιξη, καλοκαίρι…το οποίο συμπεριλαμβανόταν στο φάκελο της υποψηφιότητας της Ίριδας Σαμαρτζή για το 2020. Μια μεγάλη τιμή αναμφίβολα για ένα σημαντικό ελληνικό βιβλίο.
