As Estonia prepares to take centre stage as the Guest of Honour at the Bologna Children’s Book Fair 2025, the official website for the project has been launched, offering a comprehensive resource on Estonian children’s literature, publishing, and the vibrant programme set for Bologna this spring.
The newly launched website serves as a central hub for international publishers, literary professionals, and book enthusiasts seeking insights into Estonia’s dynamic children’s literature scene. Visitors can explore detailed information about the key organisations behind the initiative, including the Estonian Children’s Literature Centre, the Estonian Publishers’ Association, and other leading industry partners.
The platform provides valuable resources on Estonian publishing, books and rights, as well as profiles of renowned Estonian writers and illustrators. With the goal of fostering international collaboration, the website highlights Estonia’s literary heritage, contemporary voices, and the opportunities available for publishers interested in acquiring Estonian titles.
A key feature of the website is the full programme of Estonia’s presence at the Bologna Children’s Book Fair 2025. Attendees can discover panel discussions, networking events, exhibitions etc that showcase Estonia’s rich storytelling tradition and artistic excellence.
“Being the Guest of Honour at Bologna 2025 is a landmark opportunity to present Estonia’s outstanding children’s literature and publishing industry to the world,” said Triin Soone, Director of the Estonian Children’s Literature Centre. “This website will be an essential tool for connecting with international audiences, offering access to everything from book rights to author interviews and event details.”
The website will be regularly updated with new content, event announcements, and media materials in the lead-up to and during the fair. Industry professionals, media representatives, and book lovers are encouraged to visit the site and follow Estonia’s journey as Guest of Honour at Bologna 2025.
