USBBY President and former OIB committee member, Evelyn Freeman, speaks to the imperative role international books can play in children's lives right now in her guest post for the Children's Literature Assembly blog.

Freeman writes:
During this time when children everywhere are experiencing the global pandemic, sharing and experiencing stories across cultures help guide young readers towards realizing the similarities that unite us while recognizing and valuing our unique differences.
