Tales of EUkraine will be back at the Frankfurt Book Fair in 2025. The project, which aims to distribute bilingual children's books in Ukrainian and other European languages to Ukrainian children displaced in Europe, will return to the world's largest trade book fair to showcase the results obtained by European publishers in support of their Ukrainian counterparts and Ukrainian children throughout Europe.

Thanks to the commitment of all project partners and of dozens of European publishers, the project has been able to publish and distribute over 200,000 books. This year, we want you to listen to a reading from books published through Tales of EUkraine. Save the date on your agenda, and join us to show solidarity to Ukrainian publishers!

See you on Wednesday, 15 October, from 15:00 to 16:00 at the Ukrainian Collective Stand (Hall 4.1, F79/80). Once again, TEUk will be hosted by our colleagues from the Ukrainian Book Institute. Keep following this page and our accounts on Facebook and Instagram to receive updates on the programme!
