The 35 best children's and young adult literature books of 2024

Just as Sant Jordi approaches, the Catalan Children's and Young Adult Book Council (IBBYcat) recognized the 35 best Catalan-authored books of 2024 in this genre this Wednesday at an event at the Bologna Book Fair chaired by the Minister of Culture, Sònia Hernández. Based on this selection, the works will be chosen to be included in the catalog of the best books published in Spain. Furthermore, the works will be eligible to be included in the prestigious The White Ravens list, which each year highlights 200 books from more than 50 countries and more than 50 languages.

Ten experts in children's and young adult literature participated in the IBBYcat selection, evaluating all the Catalan-authored works published last year to select the best. This is the resulting list: Books for children from 0 to 6 years old Books for children ages 6 and up Books for children ages 9 and up Books for children ages 12 and up Books for young people.
