KARACHI: Although there were several book launches, workshops, talks along with plenty of other happenings at the Teachers’ Literature Festival organised jointly by the Idara-e-Taleem-o-Agahi and Oxford University Press (OUP) at the Arts Council on Thursday, one of the best features of the day, a talking book, the first of its kind in Pakistan, was sadly not given as much importance as it deserved.
Story of Health or Sehat ki Kahani is one book in three languages written by children’s writer Amra Alam, who has some 80 books to her credit besides bringing out the periodicals Sangtara and Uran Tashtree. The book has been written in English and Urdu while it speaks in Urdu and Pushto and it addresses a very important and timely issue — polio.
