One of the many Chinese awards for picture books is the Feng Zikai Children’s Picture Book Award 丰子恺儿童图画书奖. The latest, and 5th, awards were announced last summer and I’ve recently read two of the books on that list – one that won an award, and one that had to make do with getting included in the shortlist (no small feat). 

64. Books from Taiwan

Recently we’ve been asked about children’s books from Taiwan. So, we asked the experts at Books from Taiwan – which has a fabulous website – to tell us about what they do! Many thanks to Ms Ping CHANG 張平 for agreeing to this interview and for sharing these photographs!
