Organised by the Department of Information and Communications and its partners, every summer, the event aims to create a playground for children and teenagers to seek and enjoy their favourite books, as well as promote reading culture and habits among young people and elevate their reading tastes and knowledge.
The fair is showcasing more than 20,000 titles of children’s books, including printed books, e-books and audiobooks, in different fields of literature, history, geography, science, and self-development skills.
In addition, the fair will offer 60 activities, such as book introductions, discussions with writers and the city’s book ambassador, music performances and film screenings.
A discussion about developing children’s interest in reading will be held on June 6, to provide knowledge and skills on how books improve self-development skills.
The department also launched the second Ho Chi Minh City Children’s Book Awards at the fair on May 31, to honour authors and encourage them to write more quality works for children.
