2024 Arabic Book List
IBBY UK and IBBY Ireland were delighted to collaborate on the second iteration of the French list of children’s books in Arabic.
This is a selection of 100 books in Arabic for young people published in various countries of the Arab world since 2018. A similar selection made in 2017 is accessible online.
These selections provide an overview of a literature that has experienced real growth over the past thirty years, offering quality works, many of which have won international prizes.
Divided by genre and organized in alphabetical order of title, these choices also include some translations into Arabic of books initially published in other languages, with the aim of creating bridges between languages and cultures.
Many thanks to all the volunteers who helped with translations and to Ros Bird for her work on design and layout.
