CBT’s elegant picture books with bright, rich illustrations are meant for
children below eight years. The bold text and simple, creative story lines
revolve around subjects a young child can identify with delight The Children’s
Book Trust (CBT) library for Children and Young Adults selected 10 Indian
children’s picture books based on their popularity among children in the
library and their demand in other Indian languages. The CBT has the biggest
public children’s library in India with more than 15000 children’s books. For
the ‘World through Picture Books’ project, the library staff chose 20 titles of

Navin Menon with her more than 35 years of experience in CBT selected 10
picture books for the project.
