“Children's Books on Tour” is a thematic showcase of current children's and young adult literature from Germany. The tour stops at book fairs and other destinations abroad. The goal of the exhibition is to present the latest releases, encounter international audiences and create new business.

No other country sells as many foreign rights in children’s and young adult books as Germany, making it the world's leading exporter of the genre. Every publisher can present up to eight new releases each year. In 2022, 18 German-language publishers are on board. And together they are exhibiting 64 titles - collected in our Rights List Spring 2022.

International and wide-ranging

With “German Stories” you can explore Frankfurter Buchmesse’s activities abroad. From specialist programmes to German Collective Stands and the latest industry information – access more information, inspiration and networking. Free of charge and available all year round.
