Four titles named USBBY 2022 Outstanding International Books!


Every year, the United States Board on Books for Young People (USBBY), the U.S. national section of the International Board on Books for Young People (IBBY), produces a list of Outstanding International Books for Children. This list includes books published during the previous year, originating from outside of the U.S., that the selection committee deems the most outstanding.
