2026 Story United Nations: Every Country Tells a Story - September

To promote children's reading of picture books from around the world and broaden their international perspectives, the 2026 "Story United Nations" adopts the theme "Do It Backwards, Turn Everything Upside Down—The Upside-Down World in Stories!" It features selected picture books from Taiwan, the United States, Japan, Australia, Belgium, Spain, Israel, and other countries. The content includes picture books covering "upside-down images," "reversed character settings," "two-way reading," and "challenging established viewpoints." Through a reading experience that interweaves images and text, the aim is to break conventional thinking frameworks and learn about the cultures and lifestyles of different countries. This event invites instructors from various countries to bring lively and fun story times and cultural experiences. Are you ready to see the world "upside down"?
