Colouring the joys of reading

Artists at work: Parents watching over their young kids participating in the Read-Love-Share Children's Colouring Contest held in conjunction with the Popular Mega Bookfair in Straits Quay, Penang

KNOWLEDGE and creativity flourished side by side when 160 youngsters unleashed their artistic talents at the Popular Mega Bookfair 2012 in Straits Quay’s Convention Centre.

Armed with colour pencils, brushes and paints, they daubed kaleidoscopic hues on paper, hoping to win prizes in the Read- Love-Share Children’s Colouring Contest and Read @ Penang Joy @ Penang Painting Competition.
