The Hans Christian Andersen Jury recommends

 

In addition to recommending books from the winners and the shortlist nominees, the Hans Christian Andersen Jury has created a list of outstanding titles from other 2022, 2020 and 2018 Award nominees that they felt were important enough to merit translation everywhere so that children around the world could read them.

How exciting to see an Australian book on this prestigious book list.  What a great year we are having - our Australian author Margaret Wild also made the HCAA short list
