Bookbird is the journal of international children's literature, produced by the International Board on Books for Young People (IBBY)

The 37th IBBY World Congress in Moscow is over, but the work of @IBBYINT continues. We're looking for a new editor or team for @IBBYBookbird. I'm looking at YOU, @r_bittner Jamie C. Naidoo, @readingspark & my other colleagues interested in international children's literature

#IBBYHCA2020 nominee Albertine from Switzerland “Maybe, as children, we play in order to reproduce what we see of the world surrounding us. Invention means playing seriously; it means constructing a world in the world.” @IBBYBookbird bit.ly/2xM6SLQ

#IBBYHCA2020 nominee @JackieWoodson from the USA "For young people who are very stressed about the future, who have this sense of disempowerment, who don’t know what’s coming next, my big quest is for them to remain hopeful.” @IBBYBookbird bit.ly/2xM6SLQ
