Access to written culture is essential in today's societies for the cultural development of all their citizens. Many institutions dedicate their efforts to achieve this objective so reading habits are currently promoted by the state or private associations, in addition to what used to be the traditional job of schools and libraries.

Children's books play a major role in reading development while they are growing. Familiarity with them is one of the requirements of professionals involved in reading education of the new generations from the point of view of producing, mediating, promoting reading, studies and criticism.

This Master has become an international quality standard thanks to the collaboration of institutions from different countries which have been working in this field for many years. The online format is the most practical way to encourage participation of the most recognized professionals in the field and to provide a common training ground to professionals from all parts of the world.
