This study is a qualitative study taking place in Vientiane, Laos. The participants of this study consisted of 1) 10 scholars from government sectors and private publishers, 10 artists from 3 publishers and 2 non-profit organizations who created illustrations for Lao children books, and 10 stakeholders—readers and purchasers.
