The Wild Ones by Antonio Ramos Revillas, tr Claire Storey, would not let me go on #InternationalTranslationDay 2025. What a read. #WorldKidLitMonth #YA #xl8
We love seeing how books cross borders! We're just coming to the end of #WorldKidLitMonth = the month to explore diverse and translated children's lit from around the world. We can recommend lots of lovely Dutch lit in English translation (for example) if you want to explore!
Day 30: It's a wrap!
And just like that, another #WorldKidLitMonth has come to an end! But we're not going anywhere. Follow us on social media & subscribe to our blog posts. This Sept alone, we’ve reviewed books from 27 countries. Come explore!

I am Deborah Smith. I grew up in a small South Yorkshire town without a bookshop or books at home, never travelling. I read translations, learned Korean, then began to translate and founded Tilted Axis Press (publishing translations of writing from across Asia), all to learn, share and support a more nuanced and equitable awareness of our mutually entangled lives. These days I translate little and slowly, mainly poetry. My other translation work involves mentoring, curating, and learning to live in India.
Prepping for a little workshop to celebrate #WorldKidLitMonth this afternoon, and I wanted to share Deborah Smith's bio from her translation of I AM THE SUBWAY by Kim Hyo-eun (Scribble) 🤩
