Idea coming out of IASL 2018 in Turkey (thanks to Karen Van Drie) - every school library should have 2 books from each country. She suggested over on Facebook that we get Follett to make/host the list.
Instead I suggested using LibraryThing -- e.g., see this public crowd-source List for Children's Lit:
http://www.librarything.com/.../Global-Lit-in-Libs...
and one for YA Lit:
http://www.librarything.com/.../Global-Lit-in-Libs-YA...
As people add titles to this list, use the "Explain" feature to indicate which COUNTRY or CULTURE the book relates to -- and, if possible, in what way, e.g.,
-- Content of the book, e.g., setting or characters
-- Author's background
-- Location of original publication
-- Translation

GLLI already has some wonderful collections started: http://www.librarything.com/catalog/glli
