The Asian Festival of Children’s Content (26^th to 29^th May 2012, at The Arts House) offers a unique occasion to meet, interact and network with acclaimed writers, publishers, illustrators and editors who produce Asian content for children. They include international publishing professionals such as Leonard Marcus, Sarah Odedina and Nury Vittachi, as well as local writers Adeline Foo, David Seow and Shamini Flint.  In addition to exhibitions, book launches and panels, other highlights at this year’s festival include a focus on the writers and illustrators from the Philippines, workshops in Chinese, Malay and Tamil and a Media Mart and Rights Fair.
