This Year our award goes to
SENIOR AUTHOR MRS. REBATI RAJBHANDARI CONGRATULATIONS RESPECTED AUTHOR
Each
year a different National Section of IBBY has the opportunity to be the
international sponsor of ICBD. It decides upon a theme and invites a
prominent author from the host country to write a message to the
children of the world and a well-known illustrator to design a poster.
These materials are used in different ways to promote books and reading.
Many IBBY Sections promote ICBD through the media and organize
activities in schools and public libraries. Often ICBD is linked to
celebrations around children's books and other special events that may
include encounters with authors and illustrators, writing competitions
or announcements of book awards.
Since
1967, on or around Hans Christian Andersen's birthday, 2 April,
International Children's Book Day (ICBD) is celebrated to inspire a love
of reading and to call attention to children's books.
