Abstract

This paper deals with an ongoing project by members of a team who believe in interdisciplinarity and multidisciplinarity. This team is taking the first step to create and develop The Digital Library of Arab Children's Culture for Sustainable Development (DLACSD). Currently, communication brings the world together and although the social media and the new technology have introduced problems that are serious, to say the least, collaborators on all levels must play an active role in redressing the social wrongs, especially those affecting children. Writers for children, librarians, teachers, psychologists, literary critics, illustrators, and parents need a platform that makes material available to promote children’s culture in the Arab world and to introduce the world to what is of value for children in Arabic. This project claims to link the past, present, and future by creating a platform that can grow to include not only works by adults but by children who inspire adults with their imagination and the joys they bring to the world. Through reading samples of the works by Abdel-Tawab Youssef (1928-2015), it will be informative to see how his writings address the United Nations Goals of Sustainable Development way before these Goals were discussed.
