"What an inspiring night!"

We share the note that our friends from Sarah's Rural Library Fund have put:

Thanks to those who joined us on Zoom on Thursday! We hope the conversation with Frank Cottrell-Boyce and Alfredo, Zelma and Mara from the Rural Libraries was as inspiring for you as it was for us.

We agree with Frank: "Reading for pleasure gives us that opportunity to tear down the walls that divide us."

We had a great discussion about which superheroes children connect to across borders. Alfredo told a moving story about a boy without arms or legs who loved Spiderman, but for most children in the Andes "their hero is a guinea pig who surpasses the fox."

For those who couldn't watch, the webinar recording is below. Unfortunately we were unable to record the simultaneous interpretation, but we will work on getting a subtitled version soon:

Best regards!
