A brief summary of the development of picture books worldwide (focusing on currently published English picture books)

* The fol­low­ing arrange­ment is basi­cal­ly arranged in chrono­log­i­cal order of pub­li­ca­tion year, with Eng­lish pic­ture books as the main line (unfor­tu­nate­ly I don’t under­stand oth­er for­eign lan­guages), and also based on works cur­rent­ly pub­lished in main­land Chi­na (books with title marks have been pub­lished in sim­pli­fied Chi­nese), with a focus on Mr. Peng Yi’s “Pic­ture Books: Read­ing and Clas­sics”. Based on this idea, the result is basi­cal­ly based on the win­ners of the Amer­i­can Calde­cott Medal and the British Green­away Medal. Of course, a large num­ber of good books have been missed, and it is even dif­fi­cult to take into account works from Aus­tralia. So even if we look at the devel­op­ment clues of Eng­lish pic­ture books in this way, it is still a fuzzy view, and it can be regard­ed as a sort of arrange­ment that is bet­ter than noth­ing.
