Jayne brought this link to my attention. The International Children’s Digital Library is an online library that collects, scans and makes digitally available, children’s books from around the world.
The ICDL Foundation’s goal is to build a collection of books that represents outstanding historical and contemporary books from throughout the world.
There are stories in Mongolian, Farsi, German, Portuguese and so forth. What a wonderful way to use technology to preserve customs and bring people closer together.
