Asian / Pacific Co-publication Programme

This is a novel attempt under the aegis of UNESCO, at developing books for Asian children
by Asian authors. To have children in Korea share their fantasies with their counterparts in

part of a team to build a list of children in the 20 odd countries of the continent we inhabit, it
is a great new beginning. The many worlds from Tehran to Tokyo intermingle to give colour
to words that children across the continent, if not the world, would love to read. These books
are steps for bridging minds and creating a common heritage for this vast continent and are
the very best of Asia today.
