Hello! from Australia, Bologna Book Fair 2019
We are delighted to be able to put together a third
collective stand at Bologna for Australian publishers
and creators of children’s literature, thanks to a funding grant from the Australian Federal Department of Communication & the Arts. This year we celebrate the UNESCO International Year of Indigenous Languages with a curated display of books highlighting our own Indigenous culture.
We have 11 independent publishers on the stand, showcasing a diverse and exciting range of publishing for children.
The stand is also host to a record 15 Australian illustrators who will each spend time at our creators’ table displaying their wonderful and varied skills.
