I can think of a few people who might enjoy a few months overseas writing, writing and researching as well as helping the International Library folks  curate their New Zealand children’s literature:

The International Youth Library, housed in the late-medieval Blutenburg Castle, boasts the world’s largest collection of international children’s and youth literature. The unique collection includes more than 580,000 children’s and youth books in more than 130 languages, published during the past 400 years.
Look for information about the International Children’s Library Fellowship here.
