Through these works, young readers can not only enjoyably explore the unique regional landscapes of different countries but also gain a concrete understanding of the lifestyles and moral values of people from various ethnic groups living in foreign lands. They can truly experience the rich diversity of history and culture in different nations and ethnicities. More importantly and meaningfully, it lies in the beautiful emotions and poetic atmospheres filled with magical imagination and fantasy in the works, as well as the wonderful love and human charm they embody, which deeply influence and move children, inevitably shaping their lives. For Chinese children's literature writers, these 22 classics offer valuable lessons in terms of ideology, art, and many other aspects, allowing us to further enhance the quality of Chinese children's literature and promote the continuous development and prosperity of children's literature creation in the new century. Therefore, it can be expected that this set of "Picture Books of Foreign Children's Literary Classics" will be widely loved and welcomed.
