Where Kindness and Imagination Come to Life
From its modest beginnings in 1949, when postwar publishers gathered in Frankfurt to rebuild and share new ideas, the Frankfurter Buchmesse has grown into the world’s most important international book fair. Over the decades, it has transformed from a regional gathering of German publishers into a global platform where stories are launched, partnerships are forged, and the future of publishing is shaped. That journey of steady growth, vision, and innovation is what makes the fair so influential today.
Now celebrating its 77th year, the Frankfurter Buchmesse 2025 is set to host more than 7,500 exhibitors from across the globe. It offers far more than book displays: visitors can explore groundbreaking titles, attend insightful discussions with leading authors and thinkers, witness the latest in publishing technology, and discover how books continue to evolve across media and cultures. It’s not just a fair — it’s a creative crossroads where tradition meets tomorrow.
The Imagination Peoples the Air
Frankfurter Buchmesse 2025
Adding to the excitement, the Philippines takes center stage as the Guest of Honour for 2025, presenting the theme “The Imagination Peoples the Air” — a powerful nod to the nation’s storytelling spirit inspired by José Rizal’s Noli Me Tangere. With over a hundred Filipino authors, artists, and events bringing the country’s rich literary heritage and contemporary voices to Frankfurt, this year’s fair celebrates not only books but also the vibrant diversity of global storytelling.
Amid this world of creativity and connection, Kravitz & Sons proudly presents The Land of Saurus: Making Friends by Dr. K.L. Scott — a delightful and heartwarming tale that celebrates friendship, bravery, and the timeless lessons of kindness and empathy.
A Dinosaur’s Lesson in Friendship
The Land of Saurus: Making Friends tells the story of Steggy, a little Stegosaurus who isn’t sure he wants to share his world with anyone new — especially not a peculiar winged creature named Nick. But when Nick finds himself hurt and in need of help, Steggy must make a choice: walk away or reach out with compassion.
Through rhythmic storytelling and vivid imagery, Dr. Scott crafts a tale that’s as entertaining as it is meaningful. Young readers follow Steggy’s journey from fear to friendship, learning that courage often means opening one’s heart. With its gentle rhymes and universal message, the book encourages children to embrace understanding, empathy, and the joy that comes from helping others.
This sweet and imaginative story reminds readers of all ages that true strength lies not in pride or fear, but in kindness and care for one another.
The Heart Behind the Story
Dr. K.L. Scott brings warmth, rhythm, and imagination to her storytelling. Dedicated to creating meaningful tales for young readers, she draws inspiration from themes that transcend generations — acceptance, courage, and the beauty of friendship.
Her work balances playfulness and purpose, offering stories that entertain while nurturing character and compassion. With The Land of Saurus series, Dr. Scott continues her mission to help children grow in emotional awareness, confidence, and kindness — one imaginative story at a time.
Her writing not only delights but also gently teaches, making her books treasured additions to any child’s library.
Why It Belongs on the Global Stage
At the 77th Frankfurter Buchmesse 2025, where storytelling from every corner of the world takes center stage, The Land of Saurus: Making Friends stands out as a celebration of empathy, cooperation, and the power of imagination.
In a time when connection and compassion are more important than ever, Dr. Scott’s work reminds us that friendship is a universal language — one that transcends age, culture, and even species. Her story encourages children to see the best in others and to find courage in kindness, reflecting the very values that make literature a bridge between hearts across the globe.
At Frankfurt, where ideas and imaginations unite, The Land of Saurus: Making Friends takes its rightful place among the stories that shape tomorrow’s readers — stories that teach us all how to be brave, kind, and truly human.
