Bologna Children's Book Fair - 60th edition

Bologna Children’s Book Fair enters its seventh decade with the same passion as always and with the pride of having created a network of initiatives ranging from Bologna to Shanghai, from children's books to licensing and, with its most recent initiative, BolognaBookPlus, serving general trade publishing.

The French-speaking Belgian publishers will be present on a collective stand (Hall 30, E34.). A pas de Loups, Cotcotcot éditions, Esperluète, Kate art, Versant sud jeunesse, will present their new releases and their catalogues.

The authors and illustrators will also be present. In particular Laura Simonati, winner of the "OPERA PRIMA 2023" Fair, Geneviève Casterman (Esperluète), Nicolas Mayné (Esperluète), Elisa Sartori (CotCotCot) and Almudena Pano (VSJ). A live drawing performance, co-organised with the Swiss publishers, will take place on 7 March during a cocktail party.

The publishers Mijade (A132, hall 26) and Alice Jeunesse (A154, hall 26) will have their own stand.
