Honour books bridge across languages, cultures and generations. Robin proudly asserted, “Children’s books can be anything but childish!” In a socioeconomic and cultural aspect, it is vital to read books with young people, support bookshops and libraries so that children will gain literacy, knowledge, linguistic competence, self-esteem and furthermore, empathy.
With historical facts of IBBY, Robin urged audience to
consider the current social issues, the importance of children’s literature and
the support of literacy activities from micro to macro levels. Robin and I
got excited together to celebrate that my mentor, Ann James and Libby Gleeson were current nominees of Anderson Award. Robin has always
encouraged me and taught me about children's literature since the start of my
career. Thank you very much, Robin.
Wordless picture book and Lost in Books Staff.
I bought a silent picture book and my favourite Canadian illustrator's book.
Sensible and thoughtful labels
Regarding the linguistic diversity in a residential area, Arabic,
Spanish and Chinese are majority. I visited Fairfield public library and examined the demography
from a catalogue and librarians. In the exhibition, lovely to see the books
related to Aboriginal people on the shelf. Wordless picture books are displayed
as well as others.
Thank you very much, Lost in Books staff, for hard work and a
lovely smile. May this little shop bring children literature, dream, hope and
love. If you like, come to my facebook. IBBY shared my FB post. Friends, if you have a chance, come over to this exhibition. You can find your own treasure!
Small is powerful!
