[Saturday Reads] Launch Of New Website on Themed Stories From Asia – Part Three of Four: Forest Of Stories

Myra here.

Every Saturday we hope to share with you our thoughts on reading and books. We thought that it would be good practice to reflect on our reading lives and our thoughts about reading in general. While on occasion, we would feature a few books in keeping with this, there would be a few posts where we will just write about our thoughts on read-alouds, libraries, reading journals, upcoming literary conferences, books that we are excited about, and just book love miscellany in general.

Themed PictureBooks From Asia: Forest Of Stories

I am very privileged to be part of a team that has been publishing annotated bibliographies of themed stories from Asia since 2013 in coordination with the National Book Development Council of Singapore. In the past two weeks, I mentioned that we are launching our website at the Asian Festival of Children’s Content that would showcase our published themed bibliographies.

This week, I am highlighting our Forest Of Stories: An Annotated Bibliography of Tree-Themed Picture Books – the full PDF can be downloaded here. Here are photos from our book launch in 2015.

If you have discovered new treasures from this collection, please do let us know, so that we can feature your story in this new website. Or if you have tree-themed titles from Asia (or with universal themes) you’d like to recommend, please click here to let us know.
