Every great book begins with an idea, but every memorable reading journey begins with the opportunity to discover it. That is exactly what makes the Hong Kong Book Fair 2026 such a remarkable event. Bringing together readers, authors, publishers, educators, and literary professionals from around the world, the fair has become one of Asia’s premier celebrations of literature and publishing. More than an exhibition of books, it is a place where stories cross borders, ideas spark meaningful conversations, and new voices find readers eager to turn the very first page.
Organized by the Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC), this year’s fair takes place from July 15–21, 2026, at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre (HKCEC) under the inspiring theme, “Cultural Legacy | Joyful Journeys.” Alongside an impressive lineup of internationally renowned authors, cultural seminars, exhibitions, and interactive programs, the event continues to promote reading as a gateway to discovering different cultures and perspectives.
As the publishing industry continues to evolve, international book fairs remain essential spaces where creativity and collaboration meet. They provide authors with opportunities to introduce their work to wider audiences, while giving readers access to an extraordinary range of books that reflect diverse cultures, perspectives, and experiences. Whether you’re searching for an inspiring memoir, a compelling novel, an educational resource, or a beautifully illustrated children’s book, the Hong Kong Book Fair offers countless opportunities to discover stories that inform, entertain, and inspire.
For Citi of Books, participating in the Hong Kong Book Fair is more than showcasing publications on an international stage. It reflects our ongoing commitment to supporting authors throughout their publishing journey and connecting their work with readers across the globe. Every title displayed at our exhibit represents countless hours of creativity, dedication, and passion. We believe every author has a story worth sharing, and every reader deserves the opportunity to discover a book that leaves a lasting impression.
Among the titles proudly featured by Citi of Books this year is “The Misadventures of Paco The Flea” by Jesse Briviesca. This remarkable work exemplifies the diversity of voices that define our growing collection, offering readers a unique perspective through engaging storytelling, thoughtful insights, and a message that resonates beyond its final chapter. We are delighted to introduce this title to the international audience attending the Hong Kong Book Fair and invite visitors to experience the author’s work firsthand.
“The Misadventures of Paco The Flea” by Jesse Briviesca is a charming children’s adventure book that follows an energetic young flea named Paco whose curiosity often leads him into unexpected situations. Set against the backdrop of a traveling flea circus touring the country, the story combines humor, friendship, and life lessons into an entertaining narrative for young readers.
Through colorful adventures and memorable characters, Briviesca creates a whimsical world that demonstrates the importance of friendship, responsibility, and learning from mistakes. The book is designed to capture children’s imaginations while delivering positive messages about teamwork, trust, and personal growth.
The story centers on Paco, a young flea who belongs to a traveling flea circus that journeys across the country. Unlike many of the other fleas, Paco is highly impulsive and constantly eager to explore his surroundings. During one of his adventures, he accidentally meets a mixed-breed Chihuahua named Chico while relaxing on a beach. Their first encounter is tense when Chico nearly steps on Paco, but after an apology, the misunderstanding is resolved. The two quickly form an unlikely friendship that becomes the foundation of the story. What begins as a chance meeting develops into a meaningful bond between two very different characters who learn to trust and support one another.
The friendship between Paco and Chico provides both entertainment and emotional depth, showing how individuals from completely different backgrounds can form strong and supportive bonds. Paco’s tendency to rush into situations creates plenty of excitement, while the lessons he learns along the way encourage readers to think about responsibility, trust, and the consequences of their actions.
With its charming premise, humorous adventures, and positive messages, the book offers an enjoyable reading experience that can be appreciated by children, parents, and educators alike.
As thousands of readers make their way through the exhibition halls this year, we warmly invite you to visit the Citi of Books exhibit and explore the many stories waiting to be discovered. Whether you are looking for your next unforgettable read, searching for fresh literary voices, or simply celebrating the joy of books, we look forward to welcoming you and sharing the stories that continue to connect readers around the world.
