"We are very happy to publish the second edition of The World through Picture Books, enriched with sixteen new annotated lists. This new edition proves even more the very enthusiastic, skilled participation of librarians and the great success of this international programme. The programme deals with
...
something we children’s librarians must never lose sight of, even if we are so busy with new technologies, budget restrictions, everyday work…: read children’s books and choose the best ones for our readers. And what does “best” mean? One thing it surely means is very good books from the readers’ own country and from as many other countries as possible… This is why, inspired by Kazuko Yoda’s request to our Committee for advice on the” top ten” picture books in Committee members’ countries, we launched “The World through Picture Books” programme in 2011. Librarians from fifty-two countries (or parts of countries) have made their choices which we publish here, with book presentations in the thirty-seven languages of publication, together with the English translation. Papers on picture books in several countries were presented at IFLA conferences in Helsinki, Singapore and Lyon and are on-line. Thanks to publishers’ generosity, two sets of touring book exhibitions were made, that have been shown in Finland, Japan, Korea, Italy, France, Reunion Island and Serbia. These collections are based in the National Libraries of France and Japan and are available to be booked by any country wishing to exhibit them." (Foreword)

"Each year the Bologna Book Fair, the leading international showcase for children’s book publishing, honours a different “guest country” and its illustrators through special exhibits and events. At the 1999 Fair it was the turn of Africa, and this coincided with a competition and exhibition of

the work of African illustrators. To mark the occasion, the French book promotion organization that co-ordinated the event, Les Amis de la Joie par les Livres – now La Joie par les Livres. Centre National du Livre pour Enfants – published a most attractive exhibition catalogue entitled Amabhuku (which means “books” in Zulu). The handsomely produced catalogue, in addition to containing full colour illustrations of the work of 34 African book illustrators, also includes a useful directory of 176 African illustrators with their full names and contact addresses, together with a directory of African publishers producing children’s books, arranged by country. In an introductory section (with text in French and English), three prominent African authors – Francis Bebey, Charles Mungoshi, and Véronique Tadjo – reflect on their experience of, and what it means to them, writing for children, and the six members of the jury also provide their own perspective on the topic of writing and illustrating for children."
