The ISA Lower School Libraries were thrilled to welcome special guest readers to library lessons as part of the celebration, including from the Dutch and PE departments. This initiative not only enriched our students’ reading experiences but also encouraged respect for diverse voices and stories, showcasing the power of literature to unite us.

“Kinderboekenweek is a wonderful opportunity to connect our students with the rich culture and stories of the Netherlands, fostering a love for reading while deepening their understanding of our host country’s language and traditions. We hope to build bridges between our diverse school community and the Dutch cultural heritage through children’s literature, inspiring curiosity and empathy in every student,” shared Nathalie, ISA’s Early Childhood Librarian.

Across the country, schools, public libraries, and bookshops hosted a variety of events that celebrated the joy of reading. As part of the Kinderboekenweek celebrations, students practised the Dutch Kinderboekenweek song, supported by their families at home.

Overall, the Kinderboekenweek celebrations at ISA were a wonderful reminder of the magic of reading and the strength of our community coming together through literature.
