\n\tAbout Tiia Toomet<\/span><\/strong><\/a>\n<\/p>\n

\u00a0\n<\/p>\n

\n<\/p>

Tiia Toomet is an Estonian children\u2019s writer, poet and prose writer. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/font><\/font><\/font><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tShe was born in Tallinn on 9 February 1947. In 1965 she finished Tallinn Secondary School No. 7; in 1970 she graduated from the Faculty of History and Philology at Tartu State University as a historian, and in 1978 from the Estonian State Art Institute having specialised in textile art.<\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tFrom 1970\u20131973 she worked as a specialist of academic affairs at the art studio and from 1982\u20131983 as a home-making class instructor at Tartu State University. Thereafter she was a freelance writer for about a decade and from 1994\u20132007 one of the founders of the Tartu Toy Museum and its director. Tiia Toomet became a member of the Estonian Writers\u2019 Union in 1985. In 1969 she married the writer Jaan Kaplinski. They have three sons and a daughter.<\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tTiia Toomet\u2019s first short story (Simmo<\/i>) appeared in the magazine Noorus in 1965. Since the mid-1970s she has published a number of children\u2019s books many of which have also attracted attention outside Estonia.<\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tToomet has drawn inspiration from history, and her creation is aimed at recalling the memories of the past. Without excessive glorification, she creates a heartfelt picture of bygone times and old things and brings them closer to the present-day child. Her books, particularly those recalling the life and work in the old times, are in the list of books recommended for schoolchildren. As a valued expert, Toomet wrote one of the first history textbooks published after the restoration of Estonia\u2019s independence \u2013 Me elame ajaloos: Eesti ajaloo \u00f5pik 5. klassile<\/i> (\u2018We Live in History: Textbook of Estonian History for Form 5\u2019, 1993).<\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tAlong with children\u2019s literature, Toomet has published poetry collections where everyday life is intertwined with eternal affairs and highly appreciated collections of stories for adults.<\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tHer books have been translated into Russian, English, Dutch and Arabic.<\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tIn 1996 Toomet\u2019s book Kaltsutitt and puuhobune<\/i> (\u2018Rag Doll and Wooden Horse\u2019) received the Literature Endowment Annual Award, in 1997 the collection of stories Isamaa suvi<\/i> (\u2018Patriotic Summer\u2019) the Virumaa Literary Prize. In 2004 she was awarded the Tartu medal and in 2005 the Order of the White Star, 4<\/font>th<\/font><\/sup> Class. In 2007 she received the Folk Culture Endowment Annual Award for establishing the Tartu Toy Museum. In 2012, based on a web questionnaire, Toomet was elected one of the three citizens of Tartu whose footprints were added to the Tartu Pioneers\u2019 Alley, and in 2016 she became an honorary citizen of Tartu and bearer of the Big Star of Tartu.<\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n
