Abstract

In the 2011 revolution, many Egyptians protested the Reading for All Festival, a government reading program, because of its ties with the ruling political class and Suzanne Mubarak, the former First Lady of Egypt. Some even held signs that said “Reading for All and Injustice for All.” This may come as a surprise to many, considering that Mrs. Mubarak has been celebrated internationally, especially in the West, as a strong advocate for women’s rights and for improving the lives of children through education. However, this government reading program can shed some light on the status of children’s publication in Egypt during the past two to three decades
