Yesterday the Children’s Team celebrated #WorldKidLitMonth by running a very interactive session on books in translation for Yr4 from St James RC Primary School at #PettsWoodLibrary. The class took part in some fun activities & learnt more about translated books. @Better_UK

It's International Translation Day!
“Having books available to read in translation opens the world up, and makes it a bigger place, and at the same time, we see that humanity is the same wherever we are.”

This attached quote is wonderful from Aidan Chambers on the importance of literature in translation and the role of translators in enriching our lives and experiences:
'Translators are the synapses of our culture.'

Many thanks to Outside in World for this wonderful selection of EU children's books translated by some of the best translators in the country, whose job will be even more important once we're all alone on our little island.
PS Thanks for including AZIZI!
