Bologna - The Book Fair
The four days of the Book Fair were the usual roller-coaster of ups and downs, hopes, lessons, delights, disappointments, inspirations, resolutions and finally, exhausted satisfaction. Here are my personal highlights, on the Facebook Bologna Connections page you can find a lot more photos and videos.
Successes for friends and associates were apparent from the first day. David Almond has won the Hans Andersen Award. Fantastic news, well done David! Equally amazing was seeing Holly Thompson's book Orchards emblazoned in prominent view on the Random House Stand. I've known David since he presented a talk for SCBWI Tokyo some years ago, an event hosted and co-organized by my dear friend Holly, the Tokyo Regional Advisor.
