silent book nominations

IBBY Italia invited us, along with other IBBY units, to nominate up to three recent titles for Silent Books:  Destination Lampedusa.  This juried international project collects the best wordless picture books from around the world for inclusion in a traveling exhibit, a library for refugee children on the island of Lambedusa, and a published compilation of winning titles.  The USBBY Board decided to seek suggestions from the membership. We were pleased with the variety and number received. In the end, two titles were suggested most and the Board decided to submit both: Imagine by Raúl Colón and Wolf in the Snow by Matthew Cordell. Thank you for your participation in this unique project!
