Exhibition: Children’s Books from around the World (September 12–18, 2025)

Join Us at an Exhibition Showcasing Select Children’s Books from around the World

The Japan Foundation (JF) is pleased to announce the 2025 edition of Children’s Books from around the World, a traveling exhibition showcasing 200+ titles selected for the biennial Honour List published in 2024 by the International Board on Books for Young People (IBBY). The two winning titles for the 2024 Hans Christian Andersen Awards recognizing authors and illustrators will be featured as well. This is a fine opportunity to browse titles that represent the very best in children’s literature from 60 participating countries and regions. A special event welcoming picture-book editors from Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand, and Vietnam is planned on the penultimate day of the exhibition. We do hope you will join us.
