Beyond Folktales, Legends, and Myths: A Rediscovery of Children's Literature in Asia | 
#SchoolSpirit Day 21: #Play was the theme for last year‘s festival for the Asian Festival of Children‘s Content where I served as Chair of Program Committee from 2012-2019. Tagged book is one of my five edited books for the festival. 💕
I had so much fun moderating this panel of illustrators, artists, picturebook creators, and curators from India, Indonesia, the Philippines, Japan (Chihiro Art Museum curators), Spain/China, Singapore, and myself from the United Arab Emirates. The recorded live session of “what makes a good illustration” inn picturebook art can be found here: https://www.facebook.com/AFCCSingapore/ #LibrariansOfLitsy #TeachersOfLitsy
If you are free tomorrow #LibrariansOfLitsy and #TeachersOfLitsy and fellow bibliophiles and lovers of #kidlit, join us for tomorrow‘s panel discussion that I am pleased to be moderating. This will be streamed live @ Asian Festival of Children‘s Content Facebook page by 2 PM Singapore time, 10 AM, my time in the UAE. See ya!
pick#ReadingResolutions Day 14: I gave away several GatheringBooks #BookishTotes (printed by ze husband) containing a few of my own books and some local picturebook biographies when I delivered a conference presentation during the National Association for Gifted Children in Baltimore back in 2014. I shared about what exceptional children can learn from multicultural picturebook biographies.
Very privileged to have my research project on reading lives of Singapore teachers and course module (using multicultural picturebooks for social and emotional learning) in Straits Times today as their featured article on Education. Reason why we had to do a spring cleaning at home for this photo shoot - Full article can be seen here - http://www.straitstimes.com/singapore/education/picture-books-arent-just-for-chi...
