Building Picturebooks Berlin a Real-Life community
@berlinpicturebooks

I’m very happy and truly honored to be speaking at Building Picturebooks Berlin, a vibrant real-life community of authors and illustrators.

It means a lot to be part of such an inspiring network that brings together creatives from all over the world, fostering exchange, collaboration, and mutual support. I’m especially excited to share this experience alongside a wonderful group of colleagues, and to present our community together, highlighting the importance of connection, creativity, and collective growth in the world of picturebooks.

Joining this talk at the Bologna Children’s Book Fair is a meaningful opportunity to showcase how the community can create visibility and open new paths for authors and illustrators across different countries and backgrounds.
