Our hope is that these titles will enrich children’s imaginations and cultivate curiosity about other cultures, as well as delight book lovers of all ages with their humor, art, and playful spirit. We hope to build a list of books that shows faith in children as enthusiastic, sensitive, and serious readers.

Imaginative and wild and beautiful and tender – these books (from across the world!) comprise the most gently magnificent library I can imagine putting together for a child.
