SEPTEMBER IS A WORLD KID LITERATURE MONTH

World Kid Lit Month has been celebrated every September since 2016. The goal for the celebration is to promote world literature for children and teens.
According to Alexandra Buchler, the director of  Literature Across Frontiers:
"By reading beyond our borders we explore the vast diversity of voices and perspectives that complement and contrast with our own. Global Kid Lit offers a window onto the world and a reflection of other cultures, but also expands the opportunities for children to find the texts that speak personally to them."
This year Armchair Travel, Bibliodiversity, Global Reads for a Global Outlook, and Found n Translation were the four main threads.
Here is how you can support World Kid Lit Month next year:

• Share photos of the translated children's books on their bookshelves.
• Read and review one children's book translated into English from another language.
• Travel to another country and write about it.
