MUSIGA President Bice Osei Kuffour (Obour), singer-songwriter and performer, urged parents to sponsor books written and produced by Ghanaians.
Obour pleaded for the purchase of Aboriginal books in a documentary produced by the Ghana Book Development Council (GBDC).
The documentary is part of the GBDC's "Learning to Read, Read to Learn" campaign, which was launched to raise awareness of the many benefits of reading, especially for children.
The documentary includes personalities and role models who take the time to read despite their busy schedules.
Obour urged parents to encourage their children to read locally produced books written by Ghanaians to help them immerse themselves in Ghana's rich culture.
"Buy local books, buy storybooks written by Ghanaians so that your children can grow up not only by reading, but also by immersing themselves in the culture and traditions of our great country, Ghana," he said. he declared.
These personalities and models, who are characters with whom children identify easily, were recorded reading aloud children's books, especially books written by Ghanaian authors.
Obour read Patience O. Vomawor's book Kwaku Ananse and the bottle of honey.
The Ghana Book Development Council (GBDC) is an agency of the Ministry of Education to oversee the development, regulation and effective planning of the book industry in Ghana.
One of the functions of the GBDC is to ensure the establishment of appropriate mechanisms for the promotion of reading in all age groups, especially children.
In order to promote reading among schoolchildren and indigenous books, GBDC periodically organizes book fairs and reading festivals, as well as reading and creative writing clubs in primary and secondary schools.
