The Sharjah Book Authority (SBA) has announced that the 13th Sharjah Children’s Reading Festival (SCRF) will take place over a 12-day period beginning May 11. With a theme of ‘Create Creativity’, the biggest festival of its kind in the region will run until May 22 at the Expo Centre Sharjah.

A host of international writers and experts will lead diverse, inclusive activities, taking the young generation on a journey to unleash their creativity, hone their skills and expand their knowledge.

Children can build their unique worlds without being restricted by the festival’s theme of ‘Create Creativity’. With learning and innovation, the younger generations can rediscover themselves and build their realities. SCRF provides the platform to achieve this by ensuring that a diversity of publishers participate in the festival and a bevy of creative and educational workshops and exhibitions are on offer to entertain them.
