    International youth literature -- translated books and English-language imports first published outside of the US -- can be the missing link in diversifying collections. Their diversity discussions tend to focus on multicultural literature that is originally published in the US. At first glance diverse books from here and abroad can seem indistinguishable since they may have a similar focus or setting -- that is, by race, ethnicity, ability, socioeconomic status, etc. -- so it is not surprising that international books are often mistaken for multicultural books. Sometimes only a close look will reveal that a book has been translated or was first published in English abroad. Reading international youth literature moves us to the margins for a change and is an opportunity to see what the rest of the world thinks. Each book also contains a selected list of resources such as awards and organizations as well as several essays about international children's literature.
