USBBY nominated author Jacqueline Woodson, and illustrator Allen Say for the Hans Christian Andersen Award, and are thrilled to announce that Woodson has been shortlisted for the 2020 HCA, which will be announced at the Fair. The 2020 BolognaRagazzi Awards have already been announced!
Is there any more magical and inspiring place for international children’s book lovers than the Bologna Book Fair? 

Many USBBY members are attending - for board meetings, for browsing, for rights discussions, for awards, for pleasure - and are bracing themselves for awe.
I'm looking forward to meeting with publishing clients from around the world
 and being wowed by beautiful books!

Although I have visited Bologna many times, I never lose my sense of wonder at seeing over 1000 exhibitors from all over the world displaying children's books. I also look forward to seeing my wonderful IBBY friends.

It's amazing to see the world of children's publishing in booth after booth! Plus, I'm looking forward to our IBBY Executive Committee and BOOKBIRD meeting. Plus, did we mention this was in Italy?! So fun to be there-- the yummy food, the fun street market, the ancient architecture!

I just found out today from Ashley Bryan, great friend of USBBY, that his 1999 publication "Infinite Hope" was awarded the best non-fiction book of 2019 by the Bologna jury. Hooray for Ashley!
