Amidst the enchanting world of literature at the Sharjah International Book Fair, the UAE Board on Books for Young People (UAEBBY) has been captivating young audiences with an engaging storytelling exhibition.

Dedicated to nurturing a passion for reading among children, the UAEBBY Pavilion has emerged as the focal point of this year’s book fair, inviting young readers to explore a realm of creativity and imagination.

A vital feature of the pavilion’s offerings is the interactive storytelling sessions led by celebrated children’s authors and illustrators from the UAE. Young attendees are transported into vibrant, imaginative worlds, guided by the captivating power of words and illustrations.

As the UAEBBY continues to advocate for the transformative influence of literature, participation in SIBF 2023 stands as a testament to the enduring charm of storytelling and its profound impact on shaping the minds and hearts of the future generation.

The UAE Board on Books for Young People promotes reading culture among children and youth in the UAE and beyond. Through its diverse programmes and initiatives, it endeavors to cultivate an affection for literature and instill a lifelong love for reading and storytelling.

Under the theme ‘We Speak Books’, and taking place at Expo Sharjah Centre from 1-12 November, SIBF 2023 underscores the profound influence of literary arts on cultural enrichment and the educational development of both; young and mature minds.
