I attended a conference today at NLU. If you live in the area you should look into the Center for Teaching Through Children's Books. I can't recommend it enough!
The theme was international books. Here is what I got:
France Abcs: A Book About the People and Places of France by Sharon Katz Cooper
Ryan and Jimmy: And the Well in Africa That Brought Them Together by Herb Shoveller
The Eyeball Collector by F.E. Higgins
Clover Twig and the Magical Cottage by Kaye Umansky
The Prince of Mist by Carlos Ruiz Zafon
The New Policeman by Kate Thompson
Tales From Outer Suburbia by Shaun Tan
I also spent some time in a Borders while waiting for a flight out of Orlando. Of course I had to get a few things.
The Knife of Never Letting Go by Patrick Ness
The Forest of Hands and Teeth by Carrie Ryan
Easy as Pi: The Countless Ways We Use Numbers Every Day by Jamie Buchan
International books are fun to read, but I havent read many. The Forest of Hands and Teeth by Carrie Ryan has gotten some awesome reviews, so I hope you like it. Have a good reading week!
