Books are not just made of words—they’re made of dreams. And this November 14–16, 2025, those dreams are coming to life at the China Shanghai International Children’s Book Fair (CCBF)! Set against the vibrant backdrop of Shanghai’s golden autumn, the fair will once again light up the halls of the Shanghai World Expo Exhibition & Convention Center. It’s where imagination meets innovation, where children’s stories from around the world come together to inspire the next generation of readers, creators, and dreamers.
This year’s CCBF brings with it a brand-new visual identity that’s as lively and colorful as the stories it celebrates. The 2025 key visual, designed by Italian illustrator Daniele Morganti—a Special Mention recipient at the 2024 Golden Pinwheel Young Illustrators Competition—captures the spirit of creativity beautifully. His artwork is a whimsical map of imagination, from a teacup filled with pencils to a cat wielding a paintbrush, all the way to a character embracing the Earth with a heart-shaped symbol. It’s a joyful reminder that books are more than pages—they’re passports to discovery.
Following the record-breaking success of 2024—with 497 exhibitors from 32 countries and over 41,000 visitors—this year’s event promises to be even bigger and brighter. CCBF isn’t just a fair; it’s the beating heart of the children’s publishing world in Asia Pacific, where innovation, culture, and storytelling converge. Whether you’re a publisher, illustrator, teacher, parent, or simply a lover of children’s books, the fair offers a welcoming space to connect, learn, and be inspired.
And here’s the exciting part—Citi of Books is thrilled to be part of this year’s celebration!
