Writer Asma al-Kuwari, director of Dar Nabga for Publishing and Distribution, said their participation in the Ramadan Book Fair is an extension of their efforts to spread science, knowledge and culture in society.
The large public turnout and children's eagerness to read books provide satisfaction and encouragement to those participating in the fair, and make them optimistic about a brighter future.
"We have a distinguished number of books in Arabic and English, which are related to the holy month of Ramadan, in addition to organising some programmes for children," she said Saturday.
Al-Kuwari noted that Dar Nabga is the first Qatari publishing house specialised in children's books, and was launched in January 2020 under the slogan 'Our product is a legacy for our children'.
The company's name was derived from the fruit of the Sidra tree and the word is originally 'Nabq'. However, the 'q' in it turned into a 'g' based on the Qatari dialect, and became 'Nabga'.
She stressed that the publishing house seeks to give local writers and illustrators a platform to showcase their creativity aimed at children.
