The city of Lleida celebrated the fourth edition of the Lletra Petita literary festival, an event that this year emphasized children's poetry to mark World Poetry Day.

Organized by the Paeria and directed by Mertxe París, the event featured nine stalls from local bookstores such as La Fatal and Abacus in front of the Cathedral. Publishers like Nandibú and Meraki also participated.

"It is a minority genre, but we had to do it as it coincided with World Poetry Day."

The festival attracted seventeen libraries from across Catalonia, including Montblanc and Gandesa. Activities included storytelling and recitals of works by Maria-Mercè Marçal and Josep Pedrals.
