Sheikha Bodour bint Sultan Al Qasimi, founder and honourary president of The UAE Board on Books for Young People, stated in a statement about the new advisory board's appointment, "We look forward to a new stage of work that emphasises the importance of the segments of children and young people on whom their societies rely to be the pioneers and future makers."
"We are confident that the diverse experiences and expertise of the new advisory board will benefit the children's book industry and help it achieve a value commensurate with the rapid changes taking place in the world, particularly with the announcement of the Sharjah International Book Fair, the world's largest exhibition for buying and selling copyrights for the year 2021," she added.
