This is the only Vietnamese book to have been selected this year, and is one of the 200 best works — surpassing 5,000 nominated works from 57 countries around the world, with 37 different languages.
The Frankfurt Book Fair 2023, the 75th edition, is gathering 5,000 publishers from around the globe, making it the largest event since 2020. The theme of this year's event is “75 Times, 75 Stories”.
The Vietnamese delegation to the event this year is also the largest with nearly 100 members. The Vietnamese zone in the book fair includes four booths of Vietnam Publishers' Association, the Ho Chi Minh City Department of Information and Communication, Tre (Youth) Publishing House, and Kim Dong Publishing House, introducing books by many major Vietnamese publishers like Nha Nam, Dong A, First News, and Ho Chi Minh City General Publishing House.

Recently, Vietnamese books are having many opportunities to expand into the international market. At the end of May, Kim Dong Publishing House and nine other Vietnamese publishing units had the opportunity to participate in many activities introducing authors and works within the framework of this year’s Asian Festival of Children's Content (AFCC), which took place in Singapore.
