Stories shaped me
"Stories made me what I am today... I was brought up by a community of storytellers."
Dad’s passion for literacy turns to writing for kids
"We need to build a culture of reading. Children need to read more than just text books; they need to go beyond their readers."
Young writer fulfills her dreams
"I find young people far more fascinating than adults. They’re fearless and resilient, and can bounce back from anything."
Words gave me life’s best lessons
"Read, not only to dream, but to see the world, to experience the world of others and to open your eyes to a new way of looking at your world."
Telling stories without words
"I love how books, their stories and illustrations inspire us to share and tell each other stories, whether these are based on reality or fiction."
