The Bologna Children’s Book Fair (BCBF) celebrated its 62nd edition from March 31 to April 3, 2025, at the BolognaFiere Exhibition Centre, where the vibrant world of children’s literature came alive. With over 61 years of experience, BCBF continued to be a pivotal event, uniting a diverse global audience and fostering invaluable connections within the publishing industry.
Bologna transformed into the epicenter of illustration and publishing for children and young adults, with Estonia proudly serving as the guest of honor. This Baltic nation showcased its rich publishing market, emphasizing high-quality content that preserved its culture and language.
Flying from Albuquerque, New Mexico to Bologna, Italy, Citi of Books did not miss the chance to attend this amazing book fair showcasing our authors’ spectacular works amidst the global celebration of creativity and collaboration in Bologna.
A book included in the gallery was “GG Cleans House: Learning Teamwork” by Renee Goodwin.
An award-winning author, Renee Goodwin, has an undying passion for education. Early on she witnessed her mother and father work during the day then study at night to earn their degrees. Her parents sacrificed much to ensure that Renee and her siblings had the opportunity to attend schools where they could receive a good education.
In “GG-Cleans-House-Learning-Teamwork,” Mrs. Gee announces to GG, “It is cleaning day.” Immediately, GG knew her help would be needed, and she was ready—laundry, dishwashing, mopping, and the most fun of all, vacuuming. But is Mrs. Gee ready for GG’s help?
Come share GG’s action-packed cleaning day as GG learns the rewards of teamwork.
“Watching GG, my beloved and always entertaining Cane Corso companion inspired me to take a leap of faith to share in writing her creative moments learning life lessons. GG Cleans House: Learning Teamwork I hope encourages parents, grandparents, teachers and all children to read, learn and enjoy hearing stories from the voice of “GG” an amazing puppy.” – words from the author
