Children's Book Ambassador Astrid Sy: 'Start Reading to Newborn Babies'
Historian and author Astrid Sy, currently serving as the Children's Book Ambassador, advocates for reading aloud from infancy to establish a continuous reading line. She emphasizes starting with newborns and shares her personal experience of reading to her sons since they were two days old. Sy is also preparing two new manuscripts: one about childhood memories in Finland and another on slavery inspired by her research in South Carolina. The 72nd Children's Book Week, themed 'Spot On!', runs from September 30 to October 11, featuring the book 'Back to the Shoe Tree' by Milouska Meulens.
