A sketch a day captures the spirit of SCRF 2025

Storytelling and illustrations are the highlights at the UAEBBY pavilion where Egypt is the Guest of Honour during the ongoing Sharjah Children’s Reading Festival


Sharjah, April 28, 2025

How would it be to see the 16th edition of the Sharjah Children’s Reading Festival (SCRF) through the sketches of an artist? The appeal of books, workshops and cultural discussions that gives SCRF its unique flavour has been minutely captured in the canvas of Egyptian illustrator Mohamed Wahba at the UAE Board on Books for Young People (UAEBBY) pavilion where the Egyptian Board on Books for Young People (EBBY) is the Guest of Honour.

Wahba, a master of comic creation, has been drawing a sketch each day at SCRF 2025. If the first day sketch depicted His Highness Sheikh Dr. Sultan bin Mohammed al Qasimi, Member of the Supreme Council and Ruler of Sharjah, inaugurating SCRF, the second day sketch was a detailed study of a storytelling session at the UAEBbY pavilion, where mothers excitedly took photographs on their mobile phones while children sat on stools gazing at storybooks. The third day’s illustration was the House of Wisdom, the new icon of Sharjah’s reading culture.
