For its 40th edition, the Book and youth press fair in Seine-Saint-Denis offers to experience the combined powers of dreams and literature.
The dream stimulates, depicts the emotions, draws the unprecedented, expresses the unspeakable. With literature, it becomes a space for creativity, projections, and freedom.
And that is the whole project of this event which, for 40 years, has generously sowed the seeds of dreams among little ones.
France Inter devotes numerous programs to children's literature.
Laure Grandbesançon producer at France Inter, awaits you at the Salon for meetings, particularly around her youth podcasts:
► Thursday November 28: two school workshops around podcasts The Odysseys et Chills
An unmissable event for children's literature for the general public and professionals, the Salon brings together nearly 200,000 visitors each year in Montreuil.
A showcase for the diversity of creation and contemporary publishing in children's literature, it offers the opportunity to wander among 400 publishing houses of all sizes to stock up on literary discoveries. At the same time, it offers a real festival of meetings, exhibitions, workshops and signings, in a joyful atmosphere where authors and reading are in the spotlight.
►►► The Nuggets of the Salon : children's literature in all its glory
THE Nuggets offer a fantastic opportunity to reveal talents in their diversity. With their demanding and diverse selection, they allow you to better navigate the production. Highly awaited by the public and professionals, these awards give increased visibility to the works of authors and illustrators who contribute to boosting the children's book sector. Between comics, teen fiction, junior fiction and illustrated books, each year, the Salon brings together the excellence of children's literature! A jury made up exclusively of children aged 8 to 18 awards the Nuggets for each category. At the same time, a jury of literary critics awards the Golden Nugget which recognizes the best book of the year.
