Further to Arthur Levine's comments, I'd like to remind people that a good way to find out about all those books just waiting to be translated into English is to look at the White Ravens list produced annually by the International Youth Library, on the Web at www.ijb.de/. (Look for "White Ravens" in the frame on the left.) These are the books they display at their booth at Bologna. The White Ravens are books the IYL staff consider worthy of translation/greater notice.

Also, don't forget the International Board on Books for Young People
(www.ibby.org). Join your national chapter of IBBY (that's USBBY for Americans -- www.usbby.org), get a subscription to Bookbird and you'll have a good idea of what's going on in the wider world of children's books. You'll also be supporting an organization dedicated to promoting tolerance and international understanding through children's books.
