Rights List (previous name: ‘Children's Books on Tour’) is a thematic showcase of current German-language children's and young adult literature. The tour stops at book fairs and other destinations abroad. The goal of the exhibition is to present the latest releases, encounter international audiences and create new business.

No other country sells as many foreign rights in children’s and young adult books as Germany, making it the world's leading exporter of the genre. Every publisher can present up to eight new releases each year. In 2025, a total of 26 publishers will be on board, 12 of them from Austria. And together they present 68 titles from their spring programmes in our Rights List Spring.
