Akada Children’s Book Festival (ACBF) is targeted at children, parents, teachers; children’s book authors and illustrators. The aim of the ACBF is to spark and sustain a healthy literary lifestyle from childhood and encourage literary creativity in Nigeria.
In making a cognizant effort to the lives of our future leaders, the highly anticipated festival will be of great significance to the children, their guardians, teachers, and caregivers, thus, acting as a stepping stone towards an intellectually sound society. One of the highpoints of the Festival will be the official launch and public reading of the book ‘Why You Do You Wash Your Hands?’ authored by Olubunmi Aboderin Talabi. ‘Why You Do You Wash Your Hands?’ is a creative and engaging children’s picture book that encourages simple yet effective hygiene tips. The book will be published in a combo set of four languages: English; Yoruba; Hausa and Igbo, so as to promote indigenous language usage in children’s literature. It is also the first Nigerian children’s picture book to contain stickers in four languages.
On its first edition, the Akada Book Festival is set to be a day-long fun family event that encourages a love of books and makes reading attractive.
The name “Akada” is the Yoruba translation for a “lover of literacy and books” hence the festival is expected to get children excited about literature, literacy, and creativity while giving them ample tools to create bright futures and to live their dreams through the power of reading and writing.
