A Journal of International Children's Literature

Bookbird: A Journal of International Children's Literature (ISSN 0006 7377) is a refereed journal published quarterly by IBBY.

The editors, Sylvia Vardell and Catherine Kurkjian, work in cooperation with
an international Editorial Review Board, guest reviewers and correspondents
who are nominated by IBBY National Sections.

Bookbird aims to communicate new ideas to the whole community of readers interested in children's books.

From 2009 Bookbird will be open to any topic in the field of international
children's literature. The editors will also include themed issues and will
post calls for manuscripts on the IBBY website. Bookbird will include News
of IBBY projects and events that are highlighted in the Focus IBBY column.

Other regular features include coverage of children's literature studies and
children's literature awards around the world. Bookbird also pays special
attention to reading promotion projects worldwide.
