And not only do @theemmapress.bsky.social #namethetranslator on the cover, they even name the translator ON THE SPINE!
😍

Definitely worthy of celebration!

And Kudos to the whole team at The Emma Press!

What a perfect way to celebrate both #InternationalTranslationDay #ITD & the last day of #WorldKidLitMonth: my translator copies of WHEN YOU WERE A CLOUD written by María José Ferrada & illustrated by Azul López (@theemmapress.bsky.social) arrived in the mail!
😍😍

#kidlit #booksky #worldkidlit #xl8
A selfie (I am a middle-aged white man with close-cropped dark hair and a close-cropped salt-and-pepper beard, wearing a black t-shirt) in front of the bookcase of books I've translated, holding a copy of WHEN yOU WERE A CLOUD, published by The Emma Press, featuring an image by Azul López on the cover of a female-presenting dark-skinned figure in a yellow t-shirt and blue shorts lying on a golden field, looking upward, surrounded by red and green splotches to represent flowers. A photo of my hand holding two copies of WHEN YOU WERE A CLOUD, so we can see the spine, which reads: Ferrada, López & Schimel and then the title. So the translator is named not just on the cover but even on the spine!

A New Zealand children's classic recommended for #worldkidlitmonth ❤️
#ReadAotearoa #ReadOceania
jangunning.bsky.social Dr Janet Gunning @jangunning.bsky.social · Sep 6
One of the great classics of NZ literature - and I think I’m right in saying, it remains the most translated work by any New Zealand writer.
Front cover of ‘The Whale Rider’ by Whiti Ihimaera. The illustration shows the back view of a young girl with dark hair and a pink dress standing on a lush green hill looking out over a bay. The colours are muted evening light, the sea a pale lavender, the sky a pale apricot. Filling the sky above her head is the shape of a whale formed from wispy clouds, and decorated with traditional Māori patterns.

I had the good fortune to connect with Christopher Holmes, who translated Sachiko Kashiwaba's debut work as The Marvelous Village Veiled in Mist about 40 years before I translated it as The Village Beyond the Mist. Reading our translations side by side was fun! glli-us.org/2026/09/15/w...
#WorldKidLit Month Focus on Japan: Two Translations of Sachiko Kashiwaba’s First Novel
Comparing two translations of a children’s novel is often impossible, as, typically only one has been published. But at least two English-language translations exist of a trim, eight-chapter classi…

I would say an instant classic this one, fairly representative of what happened across all 3 Baltic States during the Soviet deportations (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soviet_...) Would I use the word "uplifting"? Probably not. But that's history for you.

Cover of graphic novel "Siberian Haiku", grey imagery with a bright yellow spine, a girl and a boy with bright blond hair wearing grey clothes, standing on a grey street lined with grey wooden buildings.
