Big Bad Wolf 2023 Exciting Prizes, One Book Cart

Dream - Reading not only improves knowledge but also trains skills and self-control. Countries with a high reading habit are recognized as safe countries.

"From the data, the countries recognized as safe are countries with a high interest in reading, for example, Singapore," said Uli Silalahi, President Director of Big Bad Wolf (BBW) at the BBW Jakarta 2023 press conference #BACAITUKEREN, Friday, May 19, 2023.

Uli explained that in Singapore, students will be asked about the books they have read before taking exams.

"Before the exam, they are asked what books they have read, and they have to explain briefly before they can take the test," said Uli.

Character Formed from Reading

This is related because reading will shape a child to have patience. "The character formed is patience because when we read, calmness is expected, following the story process, and triggering imagination," said Uli.

Seeing this, Uli and through the Big Bad Wolf International Book Bazaar (BBW) 2023, invite all generations to improve literacy through reading.

In the Big Bad Wolf International Book Bazaar (BBW), various books are available and will be held from May 26 to June 5, 2023, from 09:00 to 24:00 WIB at ICE BSD City Hall 3-3A.

Big Bad Wolf 2022 Held Again, How Many New Book Titles Are Showcased and the Discounts?

Dream - The most anticipated event for book enthusiasts, Big Bad Wolf, is back to greet the Indonesian public. With a low reading literacy rate, this event is expected to increase knowledge and reading habits in the country.

The mapping of reading preferences conducted by the National Library of Indonesia (Perpusnas) shows that the value of Indonesian people's reading interest in 2021 reached 59.52 out of a scale of 0-100.

"Reading can open horizons for the Indonesian generation. There are so many benefits of reading, with the main one being increasing knowledge and children's personality," explained Uli Silalahi, President Director of Big Bad Wolf Indonesia at the opening of Big Bad Wolf at ICE BSD a few days ago.

The Benefits of Reading

Not only does reading improve knowledge and children's personality, but it also builds a bond between mother and child.

"Moreover, reading books to children also helps build better communication between children and parents, and can reduce anxiety and increase children's imagination and creativity," added Uli.

Improving Literacy Through Bazaar

Realizing the mission to increase reading interest and wide access to books throughout Indonesia, including remote areas, is a shared responsibility. This is what drives the Big Bad Wolf International Book Bazaar.

This bazaar presents international books in all genres to continue improving literacy and reading culture from an early age in Indonesia.

In addition to the vast selection of international books, there are also Indonesian local books curated by one of the best publishers in Indonesia, Mizan Publishing, completing millions of books.

This event is open to the public from November 25 to December 5, 2022, at ICE BSD City (Hall 9-10). Looking at the Instagram account @bbwbooks_id, 50,000 new book titles will be showcased during the event.
