Sheikha Bodour launched 'World Book Capital' at the ongoing 12th Sharjah Children’s Reading Festival (SCRF).
Characterised by a thrilling narrative, in addition to illustrations by Denise Damanti, the creative work introduces young generations to UNESCO’s World Book Capital, a global initiative that grants this prestigious title to a different city each year. Consequently, the book offers children the opportunity to explore the cities that won the title since the initiative’s inception in 2001.
The book has been published in both Arabic and English.
