Fremde Welten (Other Worlds)
Recommended Books for Children and Young Adults in German
For many children and young adults today, living with people from other cultural backgrounds is both reality and normality. Culturally mixed societies, with all their opportunities and challenges, are also reflected in the literature for young people.
In the brochure "Fremde Welten" ("Other Worlds”, in German only), the Baobab Children's Book Fund recommends books that offer insights into other cultures and religions, broaden horizons and identify the potential but also the problems raised when different cultures live together. It is updated and reissued every two years.
The brochure is an important and practical aid for teachers, librarians, parents and other educators. Books, audio books and teaching materials for all reading levels are discussed. Each entry offers a comprehensive and critical review, indicates the geographical/cultural setting, identifies the target age group and provides all the relevant bibliographic information. Thematic and geographic indexes help you find titles within a specific field of interest.
