The teacher and psychologist Isabel Torras wins the Cavall Fort Prize 2025
The author presented a collection of three children's stories
Isabel Torras, psychologist, teacher, and writer, has won the Cavall Fort Prize 2025, established by the magazine and endowed with 2,500 euros by the Cavall Fort Foundation. A collection of three children's stories led her to receive the monetary award and a reproduction of the cover that Joan Miró drew for Cavall Fort 44, published in 1965. The prize was first announced in 1963, as part of the poetry contest of the parish of Cantonigròs. On this occasion, the event took place at the Museum of Ethnology and World Cultures in Barcelona.
The event was opened by Xavier Carrasco, president of the Foundation, who highlighted the importance of magazines like Cavall Fort and El Tatano in promoting reading in Catalan. Subsequently, Mònica Estruch, director of Cavall Fort, presented the award to Torras. The latter emphasized the ability of stories to dialogue with children's minds and emotions and stressed the need for children to have a sufficiently sensitive adult to provide them with stories.
In the magazine from the second half of last month, the first of the three awarded stories was published, The Kangaroo and the Neighbor, illustrated by Òscar Julve.
