White Ravens – Chinese books, 1984-2020
The annually published “White Ravens” catalogue is the most important ongoing publication of the International Youth Library (IYL), in Munich. It is published each autumn to be presented at the Frankfurt Book Fair. All new White Ravens titles are introduced at the Bologna Children’s Book Fair the following year.
From the large number of reviewer's copies and donations which are received from publishing houses, institutions, organizations and friends of the library, the IYL language specialists (Lektoren) select 200 new outstanding books from more than 50 countries in over 30 languages to be White Ravens each year.
A few years ago, I started to put together a list of all the Chinese titles that have been selected as White Ravens over the years, collecting data online and visiting the IYL in July 2019. Lucia Obi, the East Asian language specialist at the IYL kindly checked my work, edited it and enhanced it. Together, we can now share this impressive list of Chinese White Ravens. The titles are hyperlinked to my original source of data:
2013-2020 - https://whiteravens.ijb.de/list (online catalogue)
2008-2012 - https://www.ijb.de/en/shop/wr-catalogues (pdfs)
1993-2013 - https://whiteravens.ijb.de/list (online catalogue)
A copy of each book is held in the collection of the IYL.

The White Ravens Festival -- https://www.ijb.de/en/white-ravens-festival/about-the-festival
The White Ravens Festival for International Children’s and Young Adult Literature is made possible through the sponsorship of the Bavarian State Ministry of Science and Art. Over the course of six days, authors and illustrators from Germany and abroad will read from their most recent works, lead writing workshops and other interactive events, and discuss their life and works. The Festival’s focus is as much on renowned and acclaimed authors as it is on new literary discoveries, and its German and international program aims to build bridges between cultures. Bringing authors and illustrators into contact with readers both young and old is central to the purpose of the Festival.
The Festival is named for the “White Ravens” of the International Youth Library, which in specialists’ circles stand for extraordinary and innovative books for children and adolescents. The Library publishes an annual international book review catalogue titled “White Ravens”. The “White Ravens” selected for inclusion in the catalogue all inspire and provoke, set new trends, and are of the highest quality in terms of language, content and artistry.
The White Ravens Festival showcases children’s and young adult literature thus conceived. The main Festival location is Blutenburg Castle in Munich, which is the seat of the International Youth Library. Invited authors will also appear at schools, libraries and other locations across Bavaria.
The next White Ravens Festival will take place from 11th to 15th July 2021.
