Read Around the World

Welcome to Read Around the World, a book promotion for children brought to you by London’s public libraries in support of the London 2012 bid. London's librarians have chosen a selection of picture books and stories which include people from around the world - just the sort of people we can expect to welcome to the Olympic Games.
