In a bid to advance the literary and cultural contributions of the Arab IBBY chapters, bring more nations in the region into the IBBY’s fold, and boost regional collaboration in supporting the development of children’s literature, the UAE Board on Books for Young People (UAEBBY) hosted IBBY’s first Arab Regional Meeting on Wednesday at the House of Wisdom in Sharjah, bringing together representatives from 10 countries, including 3 existing and 7 prospective IBBY members.
