Illustrators Annual 2017 - Bologna Children's Book Fair

A highlight of the time-honored gathering of children's publishers in Bologna, Italy, the Illustrators Annual — juried every year from the finest art at the show — celebrates debut and storied talent from around the world, the talent that engages a whole new generation of booklovers.

This glorious compendium can be read cover to cover or browsed through at random. And it not only provokes envy of the fair's attendees, but also inspires readers to marvel at the brilliance of the gifts shared by those whose work is discovered in these pages and to gleefully anticipate the future of children's books.

The Bologna Children's Book Fair is the largest and most impactful international book fair in the world. It is the annual fair at which children's books' biggest deals are made, the hottest talent is found, and publishing relationships built and deepened.
