Publication of a new IBBY book

The books discussed are as original and exciting in form as they are in content, developing children’s literacies while widening their horizons. The chapters are adapted from papers presented at the 2016 IBBY Congress in Auckland, New Zealand.

A timely and valuable resource for librarians, teachers, scholars, and anyone with a serious interest in international children’s books. Its 12 chapters testify to the power of books to help children better understand themselves and others in our ever-shrinking world.

— Terrell A. Young, President, United States Board on Books for Young People, and Professor of Children’s Literature, Brigham Young University.
