Each year the international children's book industry gathers in Bologna, Italy.

The judges look at thousands of submissions, poring over the work of more than 1,400 artists from North and South America, Europe, Asia, and Africa. Amid the acres of original paintings and drawings are the pictures that will eventually be featured in the ""Bologna Annuals, page after page of the most daring, illuminating, and beautiful art created for children's books each year.
