The World Through Picture Books (Expanded 2nd edition, 2015)

The second edition of The World through Picture Books is enriched with sixteen new annotated lists and proves even more the very enthusiastic, skilled participation of librarians and the great success of this international programme. Children’s Librarians all over the world understand how important picture books in both traditional and digital formats are for children: for their development, their cultural identity, as a springboard into learning to read for themselves; for their visual skills, and because of the closeness of sharing them with an adult. It is then very important to promote picture books and to ensure access to them.
