How to submit books

Each year, the 200 children's books included in the "White Ravens" are selected from the entirety of a large number of review copies, which the International Youth Library receives as donations from publishers, authors, illustrators, literary agencies, institutions and organisations.

The library's aim is to present a wide variety of books in terms of countries, languages, genres, publishing houses, target groups, format, styles, topics, etc. Therefore, we are always looking for new, noteworthy candidates for our selection. Although not all donations can be included in the "White Ravens" catalogue, we add all high quality books to our unique collection of international children's books, and hereby make them available to readers and scholars from all over the world.

Books eligible to be considered for the "White Ravens" list are:

Original editions, both fiction and non-fiction for readers from 1 to 18. Translations are usually not eligible.

Books published during the previous year, e.g. for the "White Ravens" list 2018, we looked at books published in 2017 and early 2018.

Books of high literary and/or artistic quality.

Books that are outstanding, original and innovative.

Books can be sent to the following address:

Internationale Jugendbibliothek / International Youth Library
"White Ravens" catalogue
Schloss Blutenburg
Seldweg 15
81247 Munich
GERMANY

One copy per title is sufficient and additional informative material not needed but welcome.

Customs regulations (relevant for donations from non-EU countries):

Please note that all book donation shipments from non-EU countries must contain a pro forma invoice (the delivery slip alone is not sufficient).

Even though the books are donations, German customs authorities demand that the invoice contains an estimated value for the books.

We kindly ask you to label shipments as "Children's Books" and with "no commercial value" to avoid confusions.

Finally, please also add the "EORI Number: DE4123603" of the library and, if necessary, the following e-mail address: empfang@ijb.de.

For further questions, please contact us at info@ijb.de, thank you!

Reinhard Kleist: Der Traum von Olympia (Carlsen Verlag, 2015)
Samia is sad and afraid, but most of all full of hope, when she leaves her home in 2012. She escapes from Somalia, her home, which has been devastated by wars and by the Al-Shabaab-militia. The young gifted athlete, who is dreaming of participating in the London Olympic Games, sees no future for herself there. But it is a long way to Europe. During her escape, Samia is the victim of harassment, theft, and imprisonment, she suffers hunger and thirst. But the whole struggle is in vain. The boat, which was to bring her to Italy, is a miserable inflatable. At age twenty-one, Samia drowns in the Mediterranean. In “The dream of Olympia”, Reinhard Kleist traces the young woman’s odyssey with concise lines. Even though his approach is not strictly documentary, he is telling a story based on a true destiny which is representative of many. Kleist often lets the images speak for themselves, rightly trusting in the power of his black-and-white drawings.

Francesca Sanna: The Journey (Flying Eye Books, 2016)
auf Deutsch: Die Flucht (NordSüd Verlag, 2016)
Life in a city close to the sea is interrupted by a war that destroys the city and takes father. Tension-filled scenes contrast the happy family in their framed photo with the now fatherless family, clutching together to stay safe from the reaching hands of danger. They pack their belongings and go in search of a faraway place where they will no longer be frightened. The journey is marked by nighttime departure, hiding in various modes of transportation and leaving more and more of their belongings behind. Strong visuals give emotional pulse to the story – the overwhelming power of the menacing figure denying border entry, followed by the children’s nuanced feelings of safety in their mother’s arms, unaware of her silent tears. The passage across the water is presented as frightening but also with encouraging undertones in the sea. The book ends on a note of hope for a new beginning. This is a story about being a refugee in times of war; since the country is not specified, it is open to universal interpretation.

From all over the world, picture book illustrators sent original images and personal messages, in postcard form, for Migrations, our exhibition at the Biennial of Illustration, Bratislava, in 2017, curated by the University of Worcester's International Centre for the Picture Book in Society. Over fifty of the cards are reproduced in this very special book.
The facsimile postcard text includes personal messages of hope from the illustrators, as well as quotes from writers including Emily Dickinson, WB Yeats, John Clare, and Anita Desai. Robert Macfarlane has written a poem specially for the postcard drawn by Jackie Morris.

Illustrators include Christopher Corr, Marie-Louise Gay, Piet Grobler, Petr Horacek, Isol, Jon Klassen, Neal Layton, PJ Lynch, Roger Mello, Jackie Morris, Jane Ray, Chris Riddell, Axel Scheffler and Shaun Tan. In total, illustrators from 28 countries have contributed.

Migrations carries a powerful message about human migration, showing how cultures, ideas and aspirations flow despite borders, barriers and bans.

Proceeds from the sales of the book will be divided between Amnesty International, where the postcard format resonates with their campaigning, and IBBY (International Board of Books for Young People) whose networks have promoted the call to illustrators around the world.
Latest news - MIGRATIONS is published this month by Otter Barry Books!
