After a great start to #WorldKidLitMonth, we’ve got plenty more in store.
Coming up tomorrow, you’ll find the first of our Sunday Spotlight series on authors writing in languages spoken by few. This week, Alexandra Büchler of Literature Across Frontiers talks to Welsh author Caryl Lewis.
Later in the week, Johanna McCalmont tells us all about the #AfroYoungAdult short story project, Water Birds on the Lakeshore, Julia Sherwood shares a Slovak kidlit sensation, and Tina Hartas from TripFiction takes us on a journey around the world in books. Also follow #WorldKidLit and #WorldKidLitMonth for more journeys in translated literature for young readers.
And don’t forget to book a date in your diary for our second World Kid Lit LIVE! panel event:
