International Children's and Youth Literature

In the International Children’s and Youth Literature section authors and illustrators from all over the world will be presenting their texts and illustrations in readings, workshops, school projects and talks. The aim of this part of the festival is to showcase a representative cross-section of high quality children’s and youth literature in different languages – from picture books to young children’s books, from graphic novels/comics to literature for young adults – in events both inside and outside schools, and to leave a lasting impression and awareness of the wider world in all its diversity, otherness and normality, while also providing the chance see what was previously known from a fresh perspective.
