書伴我行(香港)基金會創辦人陳禹嘉先生接受南華早報訪問,暢談香港閱讀文化,以至為何創辦書伴我行及豐子愷兒童圖畫書獎。   James Chen Yue Jia wants to get youngsters reading for fun through his Bring Me a Book foundation, but he laments a lack of quality material and says the city’s busy parents must set a good example South China Morning Post – Saturday, 17 December, 2016 By :Jessie Lau When philanthropist and entrepreneur James Chen Yue Jia visited a school library in his hometown of Qidong in Jiangsu province, he was surprised to find empty shelves and very few children’s books. “This was something strange to me,” said Chen, whose family made grants ­to stock the library with books chosen by teachers, students and parents.
