She was nominated for the Hans Christian Andersen Award in 1974 and 1996.
She worked on more than 100 books, including those by the Grimms and Andersen.
Incredibly, her daughter Marija Lucija Stupica, who died in 2002 at age 51 (I can't find out how she died) was ALSO nominated twice for the HCAA - in 1998 and 2000.
