dPICTUS

Through the year, we invite guest curators – international picturebook and illustration specialists – to independently highlight their favourite picturebooks showcased on the dPICTUS platform. The ongoing 100 Outstanding Picturebooks selection features the titles which have been highlighted by the most guest curators, and includes an eclectic mix of picturebooks from around the world. We present this selection in a physical showcase at the Bologna Children’s Book Fair (Hall 25: B144), and here on the dPICTUS platform. We hope you’ll enjoy discovering the 100 Outstanding Picturebooks! Members can view these titles in full; non-members can see two spreads from each title.
