The IBBY Honour List is a selection of outstanding recently published books. The Honour List distinguishes authors, illustrators and translators whose work is particularly representative of their country and encourages their publication in other countries or languages.
In 2006, the IBBY Honour List included 164 titles (67 authors, 54 illustrators and 43 translators). In 2008, there were 69 authors, 54 illustrators and 46 translators nominated: a record number of 169 entries from 59 countries in 48 different languages!
