This annotated bibliography organized geographically by world
region and country, describing nearly 700 books representing 73
countries is a valuable resource for librarians, teachers, and
anyone else seeking to promote international understanding through
children's literature. It is the third volume sponsored by the
United States Board on Books for Young People. The first, Carl M.
Tomlinson's Children's Books from Other Countries (1998) is a
compendium of international children's literature with annotations
of both in and out of print books published between 1950 and 1996.
Susan Stan's The World Through Children's Books (2002) was the
second and it included books published between the years 1997 and
2000. Crossing Boundaries includes international children's books
published between 2000 and 2004, as well as selected American books
set in countries other than the United States. Editor Doris Gebel
has compiled an important tool for providing stories that will help
children understand our differences while simultaneously
demonstrating our common humanity.
