The World Book history:

Founded in 2008 at the Alice Smith School in Malaysia, the World Book is a collection of poems, short stories and essays from students around the globe. The first publication (2008) included entries from eight Asian schools and last year, that number increased to twenty eight schools, from five continents. We hope that the 2011 edition will welcome even more responses from schools around the world.

Aims:

An evolving and ambitious project, the mission of the World Book is to provide students with the opportunity to share their passion for writing. The cultural diversity of the participants and their colourful interpretations of the selected themes is what make this book such an exciting read.
