September is World Kid Lit Month, an annual celebration of world literature for children and young adults that shines a spotlight on books that have been translated into English from other languages.

The World Kid Lit website provides a number of resources to support schools that are interested in exploring literature in translation as a way to provide a more diverse and inclusive reading experience and promote empathy and understanding:

• Read the World booklists and book maps.
• Lists of children’s and YA books in translation published for each year since 2017.
• A database of children’s and YA books in translation that you can search by region, country of origin or source language.
• Ideas on how to celebrate World Kid Lit Month.

Cost: Free.
