This is a one-off episode and therefore a different format from normal: it is an audio diary of my visit to the Salon du Livre et de la Presse Jeunesse in Montreuil, where I was from 30th November until 3rd December 2018. My aim was to meet some authors and discover new picture books... but I got so much more, as you will find out when you listen!
