EC Publishing LLC Celebrates Storytelling at the 2024 Busan International Children’s Book Fair
From November 28 to December 1, 2024, EC Publishing LLC proudly joined the inaugural Busan International Children’s Book Fair (BICBF) at BEXCO Exhibition Center 1, Hall 2 in Busan, South Korea. With over 193 publishing companies from 16 countries and more than 150 programs including author signings, panel discussions, and creative workshops, the fair was a vibrant celebration of imagination and connection.
A Space for Stories That Matter
Our team brought a curated selection of children’s books from authors who trusted EC Publishing not only to publish their work, but to help shape meaningful marketing campaigns that reflect the heart of their stories. From picture books to early readers, each title invited children—and adults—to explore themes of empathy, courage, and creativity.
Visitors of all ages stopped by our booth to browse, read, and connect. Many shared how refreshing it was to see books that weren’t just wrapped in plastic, but open and ready to be discovered. The response was genuine and enthusiastic, with readers expressing interest in our authors’ journeys and the values behind their work.
A Fair That Embraced Everyone
BICBF’s theme, inspired by “Laputa” from Gulliver’s Travels, created a space of “unlimited hope and imagination.” It was more than fitting. The fair welcomed not only children, but adults who found joy and meaning in the pages of children’s literature. As one visitor shared, “Children’s books help us understand emotions—they’re not just for kids.”
Looking Forward
Participating in BICBF was a meaningful experience for EC Publishing LLC. It reminded us that stories—especially those written for young readers—have the power to build bridges across cultures and generations. We left Busan with new connections, fresh inspiration, and a deeper commitment to helping authors share their voices with the world.
To everyone who visited, listened, and shared—thank you. We’re excited for what’s ahead and proud to be part of a global movement that celebrates storytelling in all its forms.
