A local artists and an aid worker will on Saturday launch children book entitled ‘what will you do for our new nation?’
Michelle D’Archy said the book she wrote and Deng Majid Chol illustrated aimed at sharing a message of hope with children of South Sudan and the world.
She added that she wrote the book because there was lack of children’s literature in South Sudan.
Ms D’Archy said she wanted to share positive things children and youths are doing to contribute to nation building.
She said the book is very simple but can show children that every positive work can contribute for the development of South Sudan.
Ms D’Archy said she wanted to encourage children to read and think about their role as citizens of South Sudan that even children can do something positive.
She called on parents to bring their children to participate in the reading of the book and other kids’ activities.
Michelle D’Archy and Deng Majid Chol will read the book to children on Saturday at Nimira Talata in Juba.
