The celebration is organised by the HCM City Book Street Company and its partners, including city-based publishing houses and book companies, to promote the habit of reading in the community, especially children.
The event features an exhibition of 24 award-winning books from the National Book Awards 2021, announced in Ha Noi earlier this month.
The books feature topics on politics-economics, natural sciences and technology, social sciences, humanities, culture, and literature.
Around 20 children’s books, which won National Book Awards from 2018 to 2020, are also on display.
In addition, the organisers are introducing a special collection of quality reference books for teachers, children and parents.
They will introduce two song books along with music performances from child singers.
An exhibition showcasing children’s paintings conveying messages of love to frontline workers and doctors fighting against the COVID-19 pandemic will be held from November 21-28.
