Sharjah24: Mexican artist Mariana Alcántara Pedraza, the first winner of the Children's Books' Illustrators Award at the Sharjah Children Reading Festival (SCRF), expressed in an exclusive interview with “Sharjah 24”, her delight in receiving the award and participating in the Sharjah Exhibition For Children's Book Illustrations.

She told “Sharjah 24” that she is overjoyed to have won first place and that she thinks the book fair is an excellent opportunity to learn about the cultures of many different countries.

She also said that she was invited to the event and that there are many other brilliant Mexican illustrators participating at the fair and exhibition.

She went on to suggest that book fairs, particularly illustrator displays, are vital for children because they may attempt to figure out the meaning behind the artwork and experience the tales they read.

Concluding her statement, Mariana Alcántara Pedraza stressed that SCRF is the opportunity to learn about and appreciate a broad variety of books.
