I always look forward to the Kirkus Reviews International Issue. This year's features THE VILLAGE BEYOND THE MIST in a piece by @mahnazdar.bsky.social! 🙏 www.kirkusreviews.com/news-and-fea...
The 2026 Outstanding International Books List from @usbby.bsky.social, first presented last month at the New York conference of @scbwi.bsky.social, is now in School Library Journal and available at @slj.com: www.slj.com/story/usbby-... #kidlit #worldkidlit #BookIndustryNews
Books on the 2026 Outstanding International Books (OIB) List were also presented in groups by theme. It's a marvel how themes cross borders while particulars of the books diverge and diverge.
Representatives of @usbby.bsky.social read and released the 2026 Outstanding International Books (OIB) List at #scbwiNY26. Amazing to see this live! A map showed the selected books' countries of origin. #kidlit #worldkidlit www.usbby.org/2026oib.html
A shout-out to the regional team leaders who volunteer their services throughout SCBWI. The global leadership sessions behind-the-scenes at #scbwiNY26 were a privilege to join.
I met @patiencehaggin.bsky.social, one of two winners of the 2025 #SCBWI Pitch-Perfect #Translation Grant! A translator from Italian knows where to go for espresso in New York!
Patience's sample, together with fellow winner Aerin Park's, was on showcase for industry professionals at #scbwiNY26.
Mandarin, Russian, Japanese, Spanish, songs, ideas, and encouragement were in the air at the #scbwiNY26 Translators Meet-Up! #SCBWITranslation
Here we go! #scbwiNY26 Translators, see you at our meet-up at 6 p.m. on Saturday! #scbwiTranslation

"So relaxing that I feared getting bored by it at first." I actually love how this review captures the cozy, comforting side of THE VILLAGE BEYOND THE MIST. And snowflakes fall as you scroll! ❄️ #kidlit #translation #xl8 #SachikoKashiwaba zezeewithbooks.wordpress.com/2025/09/25/t...
Day #13: 31 Days, 31 Lists - 2025 Translated Children's Books. So many incredible books hit our shores in a given year, that it only makes sense to write an entire post about them today. #31Days31Lists #kidlit 📚👍 afuse8production.slj.com/2025/12/13/3...
Hold the phone. @mlynxqualey.bsky.social has been authoring in addition to her amazing translating. I need to get last winter's issue of Prairie Schooner stat!
“You know what’s faster than mopping? Not spilling in the first place.” 👏
I have listened and re-listened to Suzanne Kamata’s recent talk for #SCBWI #Japan, about #writing while teaching and parenting in a situation where all three pursuits have been very intense at times. Suzanne keeps going! 💪 Excited to read her latest: River of Dolls and Other Stories.
Thank you for pointing up all the wonderful #translations recognized thos year by @nytimes.com in their #BestIllustrated awards worldkidlit.org/2025/11/24/n...
Katherine Paterson's #kidsbook about Jella Lepman earns a #Star "Paterson portrays her as a woman whose boundless energy, practicality, and persistence enabled her to achieve her goals...in this well-researched, insightful, and consistently engaging story" www.booklistonline.com/products/979...
The lesser prairie chicken was once a common sight in the southern Great Plains, but its numbers are dwindling. Even so, it lost federal protections earlier this year for a second time. Now states and landowners are overseeing conservation efforts. www.kmuw.org/2025-12-01/l...
Holbook Jackson quote: Never put off till tomorrow the book you can read today. To do list on corkboard. 1. Read. 2. Read. 3. Read.

@wydobson.bsky.social lived in Tokyo until age 11 and spent summers near Obuse, where he sometimes rode in Iwasaki-san's station wagon. The Iwasakis also feature in the #picturebook The Nurse and the Baker by Mika Ichii, translated by Hart Larrabee. Legends! 3/3 ihatov.wordpress.com/2016/09/10/c...
