Reading the World's Stories is volume 5 in the Bridges to
Understanding series of annotated international youth literature
bibliographies sponsored by the United States Board on Books for
Young People. USBBY is the United States chapter of the
International Board on Books for Young People (IBBY), a
Switzerland-based nonprofit whose mission is bring books and
children together. The series promotes sharing international
children's books as a way to facilitate intercultural understanding
and meet new literary voices. This volume follows Children's Books
from Other Countries (1998), The World though Children's Books
(2002), Crossing Boundaries with Children's Books (2006), and
Bridges to Understanding: Envisioning the World through Children's
Books (2011) and acts as a companion book to the earlier titles.
Centered around the theme of the importance of stories, the guide
is a resource for discovering more recent global books that fit
many reading tastes and educational needs for readers aged 0-18
years. Essays by storyteller Anne Pellowski, author Beverley
Naidoo, and academic Marianne Martens offer a variety of
perspectives on international youth literature. This latest
installment in the series covers books published from 2010-2014 and
includes English-language imports as well as translations of
children's and young adult literature first published outside of
the United States. These books are supplemented by a smaller number
of culturally appropriate books from the US to help fill in gaps
from underrepresented countries. The organization of the guide is
geographic by region and country. All of the more than 800 entries
are recommended, and many of the books have won awards or achieved
other recognition in their home countries. Forty children's book
experts wrote the annotations. The entries are indexed by author,
translator, illustrator, title, and subject. Back matter also
includes international book awards, important organizations and
research collections, and a selected directory of publishers known
for publishing books from other countries.
