Thanks as always to Culture Ireland for the financial support to make being here possible, and @childrensbooksireland.ie for the practical, emotional, spiritual, and caffeine-related support!
Bologna may not be sunny this year but it’s buzzy and positive and editors are looking for middle-grade again. Hurrah! 😊 #BCBF2026
Am I the only one getting distracted this morning by posts, videos and updates of Day 1 at Bologna Children’s Book Fair?

Die Grille in der Geige (The Cricket in the Violin) by Germany's Anna Haifisch received a special mention at #BCBF2026 and North American readers will soon be able to have it thanks to new publisher #DoReMi! www.bolognachildrensbookfair.com/en/awards/bo...
"Where Is My Pair?" will be available at Kaiseisha(Hall 29, B18) at #BCBF2026. Inspired by the mystery of missing socks—and a child’s answer: “Maybe they went for a walkie?”It’s a small, familiar mystery that connects kids across cultures. Kaiseisha is happy to discuss translation opportunities.
I'm just gearing up for the Bologna Children's Book Fair. It'll be my second year and weirdly, I'm more nervous the second time around.
The intensity of these events can be quite exhausting!
See you there if you're going xx
