Books & Authors

The following booklists include some of our favorite titles for children and young adults, representing a wide range of cultures and languages. In addition, you can watch video interviews with a number of the authors and illustrators who are featured in our Meet the Authors section and browse our books for educators in the Professional Booklists section. These booklists and interviews were created with the generous support of the American Federation of Teachers.
