Oct 2, 2014. Oyez!Books is delighted to be informed today that Kailash by Quek Sue Yian and Khairul Azmir Shoib  is a White Raven 2014 and part of the newly designed White Ravens Catalogue of the International Youth Library.

The White Ravens catalogue is produced annually and contains information on international book recommendations in the field of children’s and youth literature. After 30 years, the 2014 catalogue appears in a new layout: it now has 112 pages containing 200 short book reviews plus full-colour images of all the book covers. We congratulate the author and illustrator for the inclusion of their book along with others selected from all over the world.

The catalogue will be published prior to the Frankfurt Book Fair, 8-12th October 2014, where it can be consulted in digital form at the booth of the International Youth Library. At the following Bologna Children’s Book Fair, all the 200 books included in the catalogue will be on display at the International Youth Library’s stand. This long tradition allows booth visitors to peruse the books at leisure, leafing through and exploring them in detail.
