Bologna Children’s Book Fair is the most influential award in publishing, which confirms the quality, modern approach, and originality of the winners. Jury members assess the progress of organizations for a year and the originality of stories and illustrations.

This is an incredible achievement, an achievement we have achieved over the past 10 years, systematically representing ourselves, Ukraine, Ukrainian authors and illustration artists in the world and on the international market of rights," wrote the press service Old Lion.
