Lithuania at Bologna Children’s book fair

At first glance you can see two characters from fairy tales. A grass snake with a crown is an allusion to one of the most popular and unique Lithuanian folk tales “Eglė, the queen of grass snakes“. An owl (wisdom) symbolises answers (which can be found in children’s books) to children’s questions.

Later you can see that these characters resemble pages of a book, and the whole composition comprises the book itself.

Turning a new page is a symbolic invitation to get more acquainted with the Lithuanian children’s literature.
