With a plethora of activities to keep visitors of all ages entertained, the 41st Sharjah International Book Fair is pulling out all the stops to offer informative edutainment for children, youth and families.

Geared especially towards its younger visitors are theatrical and spectacular roaming acts through the halls and lobbies of the fair’s venue at Expo Centre Sharjah.

Much to the delight of little ones, Italian artiste Elena Gaffuri gives life to the character of Pinocchio, the beloved tale of a wooden puppet who dreams of becoming a real boy and one of the greatest ambassadors of Italian stories and culture.

At SIBF 202, the Italian artiste entertains children with fun interactions based on the famous tales about the wooden puppet to evoke their sense of curiosity and wonder. The story also imparted valuable lessons for the young visitors on the importance of being truthful, obedient and kind.
