Primary school students of the European Azerbaijan School recently celebrated International Children's Book Day with a special event held at the Libraff Park Academy. The event was organized in collaboration with the Libraff chain of stores and featured a talk by prominent children's author Murshud Ismailzadeh.
International Children's Book Day was established in 1967 by the International Council of Children's Books to honor the birthday of Danish writer Hans Christian Andersen, who is widely considered to be a pioneer in the field of children's literature. The day is celebrated every year on April 2 with the aim of promoting the importance of books in children's intellectual development and inspiring a love of reading.
At the event, Ismailzadeh spoke about the invaluable role of books and reading in shaping children's worldviews and opening up new horizons. He also discussed his own creativity and shared details about his books and their themes.
The primary school students actively participated in the Q&A session, asking the author about his works and finding answers to their questions. Ismailzadeh's talk and interaction with the students left a lasting impression and helped to stimulate their logical thinking and imagination.
Towards the end of the event, Ismailzadeh signed the children's favorite books and wrote down his wishes for them. He emphasized the importance of such meetings in the formation of students' minds and expressed his hope that the event would inspire a lifelong love of learning among the young learners.
The event was part of the European Azerbaijan School's ongoing efforts to provide meaningful and engaging learning experiences to its students. Through events like these, the school seeks to inspire young learners to explore their interests and cultivate a lifelong love of reading and learning.
