It is an event well anchored in the territory. From January 16, several hundred schoolchildren from the country of King Morvan are expected at the Tronjoly village hall to visit the children’s book fair which will then continue to Guémené.
“The fair allows us to create links with families, to bring the book into the home, to also create links between schools and to participate in the cultural dynamism of the territory”, recalls Agnès Labeausse, the facilitator of the Center of educational animation (Cap) of the country of King Morvan, the structure which organizes this cultural event for the 22nd time.
The visit to the show will be organized in several stages: a free visit among the books; games workshops around books and the exhibition on Sandrine Beau’s thriller; the presentation of books by classes. Like every year, classes will receive an author from the book selection of the year. The eight authors and/or illustrators that the show will welcome are Sandrine Beau, Margaux Grappe, Sébastien Mourrain, Pierre Soletti, Marie Le Cuziat, Mathias Friman, Sophie Lamoureux and Hervé Le Goff.
