Great news: Emmanuel’s Dream has been select­ed to the 2017 IBBY Out­stand­ing Books for Young Peo­ple with Dis­abil­i­ties!

Every two years, the Inter­na­tion­al Board on Books for Young Peo­ple (IBBY) choos­es out­stand­ing books for and about chil­dren and young peo­ple with dis­abil­i­ties. This bien­ni­al selec­tion draws atten­tion to books pub­lished around the world, in an exten­sive vari­ety of lan­guages and for­mats, that address spe­cial needs and sit­u­a­tions and which encour­age inclu­sion at every lev­el. Books select­ed as 2017 out­stand­ing titles are fea­tured in a print cat­a­logue that will be launched at this year’s Bologna Chil­dren’s Book Fair in Italy on Mon­day, April 3rd. Out­stand­ing titles become part of The IBBY Col­lec­tion of Books for Young Peo­ple with Dis­abil­i­ties, a one-of-a-kind resource. Con­sist­ing of 4,000 mul­ti­lin­gual books, the IBBY col­lec­tion is locat­ed at North York Cen­tral Library in Cana­da, part of the Toron­to Pub­lic Library.
Thanks, IBBY!!
