World Kid Lit Month

September is World Kid Lit Month: a month for young readers (and adult readers of children’s and YA literature) to travel the world through books. 

How to take part? Simply read a book for young people from another country, and share what you’ve read on social media with the hashtag #WorldKidLitMonth. 

You’ll find plenty of ideas of what to read at the World Kid Lit website: children’s books from – or set in – other countries, and fiction, nonfiction, graphic novels and poetry translated into English from other languages. 

Whether it’s at school, in your local library or bookshop, or on social media, September is the perfect time to explore global reading for young people. 

Happy travels wherever you fly by book!
