International Children's Digital Library

The International Digital Library (ICDL) is a project that promotes diversity and literacy.  It has a collection of children's books in digital format in several languages such as English, Spanish, and French.

This is a great resource for those professors who teach literature focused in children (English or in Spanish).  Teacher Candidates have now the opportunity of enjoying books from different cultures written in different languages to share with their students when they enter the practice teaching stage as well as their professional experience as teachers.


And for those professors and TC with small children, this site is perfect for storytelling time.

So, visit the ICDL website and begin the journey to wonderful books in digital format.
