Administrative History: Every two years, the International Board on Books for Young People (IBBY) selects Outstanding Books for Young People with Disabilities and lists them in an annotated IBBY catalog of the same name. Among the sixty books selected by IBBY in 2011 was "Goin' On a Bear Hunt," a tactile picture book with braille and print text, retold and illustrated by Suzette Wright and published by the American Printing House for the Blind (APH). The 2011 selections were also part of a worldwide IBBY traveling exhibit. "Goin' on a Bear Hunt" had been nominated for selection in 2010 by the United States Board on Books for Young People (USBBY), a national section of IBBY. The USBBY certificate of nomination was sent to APH in 2011.
