Global Voices Part 1: Japanese Picture Books as a Window to Japan
This week PaperTigers.org, the wonderful website that focuses on multicultural books for young readers, world literacy and more, launches a series on the PaperTigers Blog called Global Voices. I was honored to be asked to be the first guest blogger for this new program.
The PaperTigers Blog describes the new Global Voices program: "Each month we will be inviting a guest to join us and write three blog posts. The posts will be published on three consecutive Wednesdays within each month under the title “Global Voices”. Our guests, located around the world, are all involved in the world of kid and YA lit and include award winning authors and illustrators, bloggers, librarians, educators and more! It is our hope that through the Global Voices posts we can better highlight the world of multicultural kid lit and YA lit in different countries around the world."
What a great idea! Up after me are Tarie Sabido of the Philippines and René Colato Laínez of El Salvador and the U.S.
Monthly books published by Fukuinkan Shoten PublishersMy three-part series to kick off the PaperTigers Global Voices feature has begun! Part 1 of my 3-post series is Japanese Picture Books as a Window to Japan, which includes my thoughts on reading and taking inspiration from Japanese picture books over the years of raising our children and writing here in Japan.
This first post in the series also shares my fondness for the monthly books published by Fukuinkan Shoten.
Please have a look at my Global Voices guest post part 1 and post some comments!
Stay tuned for Part 2 of my series on May 23 and Part 3 on May 30 on the PaperTigers Blog.
