Held from October 7 to 11, 2026, in Frankfurt am Main, Germany, the 78th Frankfurter Buchmesse brought together members of the international book and media industry for a five-day celebration of literature, publishing, and creative exchange. As one of the major meeting points for the global publishing community, the fair created a space where publishers, authors, literary agents, booksellers, rights professionals, distributors, and other industry representatives could meet, share ideas, and explore opportunities for collaboration.

Through the representation of titles across various genres and themes, Citi of Books continues to support opportunities for authors to expand their reach and connect with new audiences in the global literary community.
Young orange tabby cat Zachary Kipwell lives happily in the little town of 2-Far Away. Everything there comes in twos, which has always suited Zachary quite nicely. He is comfortable with his two best friends, his two snacks each day from Dad, and his two good night kisses from Mom. However, Zachary can’t stop thinking about the nearby town, 3-Far Away, where the houses have three windows and the cars have three wheels.
Three must be better than two, right?
When curiosity gets the best of him, Zachary decides to journey out of his two-lane roadside town to find out what life would be like if everything came in threes. What Zachary finds is homework in threes, chores in threes, and food with triple servings that no one can finish. Everybody is rushing here and there, unable to slow down to experience anything.
Zach’s journey helps him understand that more isn’t always better; it is just more. This heartwarming story reminds young readers that happiness often doesn’t come from having more but from appreciating what we already have.
A perfect read for children who dream of the greener grass, and parents who want to remind their kids that the lesson to be learned is that happiness is not in adding more but in showing gratitude.
A charming story about a curious kitty finding out that home is just where-and how-it should be.
