The fair will open with a presentation of the book A Fairy in the Forest by Antonis Katsaros, followed by an interactive storytelling session of Neofyta Polydorou’s book I Love The Clouds. More fun book presentations to entertain children, families and book lovers include Antonis Sergis’ book Pablo. A Canvas of Memories, Pamela Anastasiou Papaiakovou’s The Lion Knows and Olga Constantinou’s The Different Journey of Iakovos, which will also include a short narration by Leonidas Nikolaides.

In between the book presentations, a workshop for parents and children will take place at 12.30pm led by Andri Hairalla based on the book 30+1 Ways to Spend Quality Time With Your Children. The fair’s workshop will be in Greek and parents need to reserve a place for their little one if they want to join.

At 3pm, Eleftherios Ploutarchou will take youngsters on a storytelling journey with creative activities, bringing the Fourteen Days in Ancient Greece: a Diary of Leonidas’ Journey book to life.
