@BookIslandBooks @Mat_at_Brookes @worldkidlit @librarymice Sorry, no go from me. I checked my files too - no notes on potential titles from either country.

Bohdan Butenko, was one of the most beloved Polish illustrators of all time. He was the author of comics & children's books that kids grew up with. He passed away #OnThisDay 2 years ago... He is sorely missed! 🖍️

Students need more books in translation so they can #ReadTheWorld. That's the case I made in the August 2021 issue (page 25) of The School Librarian magazine which goes to all the school librarians in the UK & beyond.
