The Hong Kong Book Fair is one of the city’s largest and most beloved cultural events in July. This year's event has adopted the tagline "Reading the World: The Joy of Reading for Children & Youth" with a focus on Children's and Young Adult Literature. It aims to inspire young people to cultivate a passion for reading, which can help them acquire hard and soft skills valuable for their growth and development. In parallel, it also encourages adults to rediscover the joy of reading and reconnect with their childlike wonders.
