The Chen Bochui International Children's Literature Award (CICLA) is one of the longest-running literary prizes in China. It was originally established in 1981 by Chen Bochui, who is known as a landmark figure in Chinese modern children's literature.
Since 2014, the award has become an international competition in the area of children's literature, which is the first of its kind in China.
Susse's artwork was also displayed at the “Shanghai Children's Book Fair in 2020.”

A Sense Of TIME -2022
Time can go fast, time can go slow. Lost in time reading a book. Lost in time dreaming. Lost in time as we play.
The three works show how time can go fast or slow but with no sense of the actual time.

The Common Journey -2021
The theme was “The Common Journey “ Susse decided on The Common Journey to heal our home. Air, earth and water. Created three pieces.
The only common journey we should all focus on is healing our home.
In this series of illustrations, Susse Created uplifting images for children.
Make them feel inspired about our future. We have a huge task ahead of us to repair the damage we have made here on Earth. However with every tiny step we can collectively make a difference. It is just taking that first step one foot in front of the other we can make the big journey ahead. Together let us take a positive route on this common journey to a brighter future.

I Believe - 2020
All three images are inspired by childhood and elements of children's stories. I think children’s stories help in creating a belief in magic and magical things. About making wishes and hoping they will come true. Finally believing in luck and lucky things. for example wishing upon a lucky star.
1) Do you believe in magic? 2) I believe in making wishes 3) Do you believe in lucky stars?
