In 1978 the SM Foundation created 'El Barco de Vapor' and 'Gran Angular' awards to support authors and illustrators, and to promote the creation of literature for children and young people that encourages reading and that transmits, with literary quality, human, social, cultural or religious values that help to build a dignified world.

Her Majesty presented SM 'El Barco de Vapor' award to Beatriz Osés for 'Un bosque en el aire' and the 'Gran Angular' to Chiki Fabregat for 'El cofre de Nadie', who were endowed with 35,000 euros each. After the award ceremony Queen Letizia congratulated the winners as authors of “two stories with nothing in common, in appearance, but with great harmony in their values: diversity, the search for identity, the certainty that we live in a community and we all count, the importance of affection, oral tradition, the non-negotiable need to value and take care of natural environments and the debt of respect and affection that we have with our elders”.
