Here are three of the resources featuring translated books and children's/YA books with international origins:
1. A committee of the United States Board on Books for Young People
(USBBY) annually selects Outstanding International Books for Children and Teenagers. This listing of three or four dozen outstanding books published elsewhere in the world and subsequently by a U.S. publisher includes books set in or about many nations and regions of the world. These are books created by authors and artists from many nations, and some of them are always translated books. The 2009 list is published in the February issue of "School Library Journal."
2. As Sylvia Vardell indicated in a CCBC-Net message yesterday, the International Board on Books for Young People (IBBY) publishes
"Bookbird," which is an outstanding source of international children's literature information.
3. "World Literature Today" published by the University of Oklahoma primarily features literature for adults, although WLT also publishes occasional articles about books for young readers.
There are other such resources, including books about Translated Books. Others in CCBC-Net can add to this list.
Best, Ginny
