It was touted as the meeting of international storytellers. That would be an understatement. It was the meeting of minds and creative maestros, all for the sole purpose of discussing how to bring books and children together.

The recent 38th International Board on Books for Young People (IBBY) International Congress was the gathering of authors, illustrators, publishers, librarians and people involved in books for children.
