The Bologna Children's Book Fair – a leading global event with over 60 years of experience – will soon welcome the international publishing community!
From March 31 to April 3, 2025, the Italian city of Bologna will once again be a key event for those working in the field of publishing and content dedicated to children and teenagers.
This children's book fair, with approximately 1,500 exhibitors from 100 countries, is a meeting point for a diverse and international audience and is one of the most significant global events for copyright exchange.
This year’s guest of honor will be Estonia, a small nation by the Baltic Sea that boasts a vibrant and dynamic publishing market producing high-quality content across various genres. Under the theme “Hello!/Tere!” the Estonian program at this year’s Bologna will present its most famous authors, illustrators, and publishers.
