Many Cultures One Story
Today is a special day in the book calendar. CBN is giving a workshop for Grades 7-8 in Clanwilliam today, with the focus on how stories grew into books for children. Here is a link to the IBBY (International Board of Books for Young People) website for the day, and a poem about books.

“We speak many languages and come from different backgrounds, Yet we share the same stories”

International stories… folklore stories

It’s the same story told to us all

In different voices

In different colors

Yet it remains unchanged…

Beginning…

Plot…

And End…
