The books in this unique selection cover a wide range of voices. Its international character is the result of the efforts of some twenty children’s and young adult book experts. The library’s in-house staff members in Munich cover many literary regions, and freelance readers and advisors monitor and consult on other languages and countries. They all have the task of sifting through the thousands of books that are donated to the International Youth Library each year and highlighting and reviewing new publications that catch their attention and strike them as being noteworthy. Some of these works are then selected for this list on the basis of the universal relevance of the themes they address, their literary and visual qualities, or their innovative approach or design.
