Members Bring USBBY to Life

Welcome to the first anniversary of BRIDGES - the online edition!

Though it seems like more of life is online now than ever before, it’s wonderful to remember the people behind the content and the hearts that help keep us connected. Physically and virtually, USBBY and IBBY continue to fulfill its missions of crossing borders with books.

In this issue - U.S.-based author Meghan Nuttall Sayres recounts her children’s literature expedition through the Caucasus; celebrated authors and illustrators from around the world read the International Children’s Book Day message; IBBY bestows its annual international awards; and the children’s lit world looks forward to connecting in person, as the USBBY Regional Conference (Nashville) draws nearer.
