PANEL: Banned But Not Silenced: Authors Tell Their Stories
PANEL: The State of Children's Publishing in 2026
Outstanding International Book Panel
Join Wendy Stephens, immediate past president of the United States Board on Books for Young People (USBBY) along with members of the Outstanding International Book Selection Committee as the 2026 Outstanding International Book List is announced!
International books are critical in helping young readers see the world from diverse perspectives and in counteracting stereotypes. USBBY's annual Outstanding International Books (OIB) list highlights exceptional books for children and young adults, published or distributed in the United States, that originated or were first published in a country other than the U.S.. This resource represents some of the very best of children’s literature from around the world. Be among the first to celebrate the authors, illustrators, publishers, and book promoters who have created and distributed these outstanding literary works over the past year.
