It Truly Is An Eventful World!

Sunday, July 8th, 2007

The upcoming week is a great example of what a truly Eventful World we live in! There are a variety of events taking place all around the world that promote children’s literacy. Summertime (at least here in the Northern Hemisphere) means that many of the events are held outdoors and are geared towards children and their families. Here’s a sampling of the upcoming week:

TV2 KidsFest (New Zealand), the London Literature Festival (United Kingdom), or Tezuka: The Marvel of Manga exhibition taking place in San Francisco would all be hits with the kids (and us) I’m sure. Check out the Books Illustrated Hi Five exhibition (Australia), the Nueva Paquime Festival (Mexico), International Arts Carnival (Hong Kong), and the children’s events offered at International Poetry Festival of Medellin (Columbia).

For kids that want to take part in summer workshops there are The Canadian Book Camp (Canada) and Cut It Out – Awesome Ways With Paper (Australia).

Those are just some of the events happening that are geared towards children and their families! Of course there are also events that promote children’s literacy that are just for us adults. Go to our calendar and see what might appeal to you.
