British high commissioner hosts storytelling session for children

Islamabad
British High Commissioner to Pakistan Philip Barton hosted a storytelling session for schoolchildren here on Thursday. The event was organised by Paramount Publishing
Enterprise, which exclusively distributes books from Ladybird, UK.
The event, at the British High Commission in Islamabad, showcased some of the high quality British books available to parents and teachers in Pakistan and aimed to promote reading amongst young people in Pakistan.
At the event, the British high commissioner read the story, ‘The Enormous Turnip,’ to the children.
Speaking at the event, he said: “Storytelling and reading to children is a really important way of connecting with your children and helping them to learn to read and write.
It can also open up young minds to a world of creativity, imagination and understanding.”
“I remember fondly reading to my children some of the books available from Ladybird, so it is great news for both young people and their parents in Pakistan that some of the best children’s books from the UK are available here.
