The World Through Picture Books


Book Description

"The World Through Picture Books (WTPB) is a programme of the IFLA Libraries for Children and Young Adults Section in collaboration with IBBY (International Board on Books for Young People) Children's Librarians all over the world understand how important picture books in both traditional and digital formats are for children, for their development, cultural identity and as a springboard into learning to read for themselves.

The 3rd edition highlights 530 picture books, from 57 countries and featuring 37 languages. It is fully digital and the catalogue as well as a poster and bookmark can be downloaded free of charge." --
