Our Guest of Honour programme is ready
The programme offers a rich range of events for both industry professionals and the public, taking place at the fair as well as at several venues across the city of Bologna.

A total of 23 authors and illustrators from Norway will travel to Bologna to present their work and meet readers, publishers, and fellow creators.
A central highlight of Norway’s Guest of Honour programme is the main exhibition of illustration from Norway, presenting works by 49 illustrators. The exhibition celebrates the creativity, diversity, and artistic quality that characterize contemporary Norwegian illustration for children and young readers.
With talks, panels, exhibitions, and literary events, we aim to showcase the breadth and vitality of children’s and young adult literature from Norway and to create new meeting places for international exchange.
