What is it like to be Alice in Wonderland? And what if Alice wants to tell stories about science to children? This is how I felt visiting the Bologna Children’s Book Fair in April 2024, a leading event in the publishing industry. One of three most visited book fairs in the world, the 2024 exhibition attracted more than 1,500 publishers from over 94 countries, visitors exceeded 32,000 over four days, and it featured some of the most well-published authors and artists of children’s books.
