How wonderful to learn about the book-hiding tradition in Australia! It's heartening to see communities encouraging a love for reading in such an interactive and communal way. The idea of children discovering books hidden around town, reading them, and then either re-hiding or passing them on creates a delightful cycle of shared stories and fosters a sense of connection among young readers. As a book proofreader in UAE, I appreciate initiatives that promote literacy and engage children in the joy of discovering new stories.
