The goal

PaperTigers.org seeks to highlight the richness of the children’s book world both in the region and globally, and to be a useful resource for librarians, teachers, parents, and publishers.  Through its Outreach, PaperTigers.org connects children with books that provide both mirrors and windows on their journey towards self-awareness and global understanding.  In some places, individualized water projects are also introduced in order to increase the potential of enhancing literacy.

The family

PaperTigers.org is part of Pacific Rim Voices, which via its family of websites and real-life projects, celebrates literary voices from and about the Pacific Rim and South Asia. Pacific Rim Voices promotes books and reading as a means to achieve greater understanding of and among the peoples and nations of this region. Besides PaperTigers.org, the family includes the Kiriyama Prize, which ran from 1996-2008, and its concurrent online literary magazine WaterBridge Review.

The people

PaperTigers.org is edited and produced by Marjorie Coughlan (UK) via the San Francisco headquarters, and co-edited by Corinne Robson (Canada).  It also counts on the invaluable contribution of Sally Ito (Canada) and other reviewers and collaborators in the Pacific Rim.

The PaperTigers.org website was set-up and launched by Elisa Oreglia in 2002 and continued to flourish under Aline Pereira as Managing Editor 2004-2010.  The site was designed and has been ably developed by Eun-Ha Paek, and the cool logo and site diagrams are the work of Rolf Mortenson.
