I find myself reflecting on how, with so much turmoil in the world right now, the work done by volunteers seems increasingly important and demonstrates the power of people helping people.
I hope reading these articles provides an opportunity to learn more about what has been accomplished in recent months by our volunteers and to appreciate both the strength of volunteerism and the passion that drives our work. Indeed, I hope this newsletter will help lighten our hearts through articles that share good news, buoyed by the power of children’s literature.
We are always thrilled when a spotlight is shined on IBBY. I am pleased to share a great article on IBBY by Margriet Ruurs in the Fall 2023 edition of Canadian Teacher Magazine. Margriet captures the history and importance of IBBY around the world, while encouraging Canadian teachers to engage with IBBY Canada closer to home. Thank you, Margriet!
This year I am moving to a new role on the IBBY Board as Membership Coordinator. I would like to send a huge thank you to all IBBY supporters and a special thank you to those who contributed articles and French translations during my tenure as Newsletter Editor.
