著名兒童文學作家保冬妮於澳大談創作
為激發師生對閱讀與創作的熱情，傳承和弘揚中國文化貢獻力量，澳門大學歷史文化中心與學生事務部邀請著名兒童文學作家保冬妮到澳大和多間中學進行多場講座，分享她在文學創作的寶貴經驗，拓寬參與者對閱讀的理解。講座為澳大中國文化節系列活動之一。
保冬妮在澳大的第一場講座分享了其作品《童年樹》，通過講述塞罕壩特色動植物的生活習性和特徵，以及人工林海那段艱難困苦卻又充滿希望的建設歷程，呈現出塞罕壩的過去與現在的不同面貌。保冬妮在第二場講座則圍繞她的名作《我的飛鳥朋友》系列繪本，介紹以中國珍稀鳥類為主角的動人故事，讓參與者感受到“自然教育的溫度、生命教育的色彩、科學普及的真情，以及藝術表達的精緻”，並探討如何通過飛鳥繪本發揚中國精神。
講座的參與者反應熱烈。澳大中國歷史文化中心副主任鄭寧人表示，人們常說讀兒童文學，小朋友讀出趣、大朋友讀出哲；《童年樹》讓他讀出感恩、讀出奉獻，也讀出了堅持的力量。澳大人文學院碩士學生韋開元則表示，講座讓他了解到《童年樹》的創作背景、人物原型，以及當地的人文自然風景，感受到塞罕壩的發展對於當代孩童的影響，稱如有機會希望到塞罕壩作親身體驗。
此外，澳大歷史文化中心還與澳門各中學合辦保冬妮分享講座，其中包括澳門培正中學的《非物質遺產圖畫書》、濠江中學的《童年樹》、澳門大學附屬應用學校的《青山綠水裡的中國飛鳥》及《二十四節氣旅行繪本》，啟發廣大師生探索自然與中華文化，加深對非物質遺產的認識。是次活動的協辦單位包括澳大曹光彪書院、霍英東珍禧書院、馬萬祺羅柏心書院、滿珍紀念書院、紹邦書院、何鴻燊東亞書院及研究生會。
保冬妮是一位才華橫溢的兒童文學作家、詩人，亦是中國原創繪本領軍作家及資深編審，專注於童話、圖畫書、兒童詩、兒歌、散文和兒童小說，迄今已創作超過300部童書，作品獲得全國優秀兒童文學獎、冰心文學獎（詩歌）等多項殊榮。
