Joint-the-Dots to be held shortly will have panel discussions, open forums and seminars on children's books.
A lot of work goes behind every book that is published, and a children's book is no different. It is with the aim to explore and understand the world of children's books that New Delhi will host Jumpstart 2010.
Join the Dots, a two-day event being organised by the German Book Office will be held on August 20 and 21 at the Indira Gandhi National Centre for Arts. Along with numerous panel discussions, open forums and seminars on children's books, it will witness the coming together of leading writers, publishers, booksellers and library experts involved with and interested in children's literature.
The event will bring together personalities from not just India but countries like Norway, Germany, United Kingdom, France and Switzerland. Renate Reichstein, the Vice President of the AVJ - Association of German Children's Book Publishers, will be attending the event, as will Paro Anand, who has published 20 books for children and is a performance storyteller.
Other notable personalities at Jumpstart include Sarnath Bannerjee, Samit Basu, Anoushka Ravishankar, Anita Roy, Urvashi Bhutalia and Karthika V. K.
