Book Lists

[A Kiyani]

Hi everyone,

My school is creating a multilingual library and we are fortunate enough to have secured some funding for the purchase of books in other languages. We have some of the mantra-lingua bilingual picture books already, so what we are really looking for is books/novels for around the 8-12 year olds which are written completely in Arabic, Pashtu, Mandarin and Cantonese as these are the main languages in our school. Does anyone have suitable book lists for any of these? Or know who we could contact? 

Thanks so much in advance for your help.

Alison

Hi Alison,

I'm also really interested in this, and have just signed up for the new newsletter from this project: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfHnvHUMr4bX4XvKbnKMHvRHxflcj9PjFWOg_uejJol0sVbjw/viewform

I'd also recommend taking a look at the WorldKidLit project: https://worldkidlit.org/ 

They may well have capacity to create a bespoke book list for you - I can ask them if you like.

Very best

Charlotte
