Since 1967, the International Board of Books for Young People (IBBY) has celebrated Hans Christian Andersen’s birthday, 2 April, as International Children’s Book Day (ICBD). Celebration aims to inspire a love of reading and to call attention to children’s books.
Each year one of the national bodies of IBBY, sponsors ICBD. Japan is the sponsor for 2024. The theme is “Cross the Seas on the Wings of Imagination”.
This year’s ICBD poster, from IBBY Japan (JBBY), is a collaboration between writer Eiko Kadono and artist Nani Furiya.
Download the poster and flyer to promote this special day.
A special video will be released to members and media.

Congratulations to Freya Blackwood whose book, The Boy and the Elephant (HarperCollins) was not only selected for the 2023 Silent Books Collection but was an Honour List title.
‘In an absorbed silence that gradually changes into animated conversation, there are books that agree and conquer everyone at the first reading. This is the case of the Australian The Boy and the Elephant (HarperCollins), by the award-winning illustrator Freya Blackwood enraptured us with her poetry without rhetoric, liquid illustrations and the ability of the little protagonist to listen beyond the daily noise and enter into a relationship with nature in such a profound way that we can observe it through his eyes.’
The Silent Book Collection began as an IBBY response to the refugees fleeing Africa and the Middle East and arriving on the island of Lampedusa, Italy. Putting IBBY’s goal into action of building bridges through books, a library was established in Lampedusa and Silent Books were donated from around the world. These Silent Books are ‘books without words yet books that are extraordinarily rich in stories, images and content’ (Della Passarelli). Any child can understand them no matter the child’s language or culture.

A Meta revelou aos funcionários o aplicativo autônomo que planeja lançar por meio do Instagram para competir com o Twitter.
O aplicativo foi demonstrado durante reunião geral, nesta quinta-feira (8), com trabalhadores pelo diretor de produtos Chris Cox, que chamou de resposta da Meta ao Twitter.
Leia mais:
O Projeto 92 será baseado no Instagram e integrado ao ActivityPub, protocolo de mídia social descentralizado. Isso teoricamente permitirá que os usuários do novo aplicativo levem suas contas e seguidores com eles para outros aplicativos que suportam o ActivityPub, incluindo o Mastodon.
O aplicativo usará o sistema de contas do Instagram para preencher automaticamente as informações de um usuário. Seu nome público pode ser Threads, com base em documentos internos vistos pelo The Verge.
Cox disse que o objetivo da empresa para o aplicativo era “segurança, facilidade de uso, confiabilidade” e garantir que os criadores tenham “lugar estável para construir e aumentar seu público”.
Ainda na reunião, o presidente-executivo da Meta, Mark Zuckerberg, compartilhou seus pensamentos sobre o recém-lançado headset Apple Vision Pro. Zuckerberg disse que a boa notícia é que a Apple não apresentou nenhuma “solução mágica […] a qualquer uma das restrições das leis e da física que nossas equipes ainda não exploraram e pensaram”.
Os comentários de Zuckerberg vêm uma semana depois que a Meta anunciou o Quest 3, a última edição do headset de computação da empresa. Zuckerberg apontou que a Apple optou por telas de alta resolução para seu fone de ouvido, resultando em dispositivo que custa sete vezes mais do que o próximo Quest 3.
O criador do Facebook observou que o Vision Pro usa bateria externa, acrescentando que cada demonstração que a Apple mostrava era de uma pessoa sentada em um sofá, em vez de estar ativa.
O anúncio deles realmente mostra a diferença nos valores e na visão que nossas empresas trazem para isso, de forma que considero realmente importante. Inovamos para garantir que nossos produtos sejam tão acessíveis a todos quanto possível.
Mark Zuckerberg, durante reunião com funcionários da Meta
Além disso, Zuckerberg fez vários anúncios sobre os esforços da Meta com IA generativa. Essas iniciativas incluem “agentes” de IA baseados em LLM com personalidades ou habilidades exclusivas para Messenger e WhatsApp e recurso de geração de fotos, que permitirá aos usuários do Instagram modificar suas imagens usando comandos de texto e depois compartilhá-las nos Stories.
Zuckerberg também compartilhou alguns esforços internos de IA generativa voltados para os funcionários, incluindo o chamado Metamate, assistente de produtividade que extrai informações de fontes internas para executar tarefas a pedido dos funcionários.
No ano passado, vimos alguns avanços realmente incríveis – avanços qualitativos – em IA generativa e isso nos dá a oportunidade de, agora, pegar essa tecnologia, impulsioná-la e incorporá-la a cada um de nossos produtos.
