Guest of honour

The European Children’s Book Fair

Books build bridges without borders - all over Europe.

We have developed what has so far been a unique concept in Europe:

with a new group of guests each year
with a new key literary topic each year.

Authors from 14 European countries meet in Saarbrücken.

150 readings covering a wide literary spectrum are held over three days at unusual venues.

This is where languages can converge without borders.
Authors read in their native tongue accompanied by foreign language students from Saarland University and actors from Saarland's State Theatre.

European publishing houses of children's books join together at round tables.

Trade visitors come into contact with publishing houses and authors.We build bridges between cultures, between generations.

We stand for education, tolerance and imagination in a globalized world
