Language, literature, art and culture constitute an integral part of human civilization. All sections of population need to be reached out through application of all these instruments. Literature stands out as one of the powerful medium for disseminating lofty ideals and humanitarian values among peoples in the world. Apart from it, children’s literature contributes towards developing understanding and enhancing friendship among young people at national as well as at international levels. Children’s songs are considered to be a powerful means in raising awareness among them. Information technology has, undoubtedly, contributed to bringing people closer. Literature can be instrumental in promoting universal brotherhood and it, if translated when the situation calls for it in order to increase readership, will go a long way in consolidating it. As birds fly from the top of one hill to that of another hill, creative works transcend the national borders and reach out the peoples of the world as a whole. Recognizing this need of the hour, Book Bird Nepal has been established with the objective of supporting the promotion of literature, art and culture as well as serving the newly emerging needs of the people in Nepal.
