Prior to the trip I began investigating children's books by Argentinian children's book authors and illustrators.

When I arrived in Buenos Aires, I had contacted Jose Sanabria's school about a visit.  I later learned that I could attend one of the sessions for the Ciclo de Literatura Infantil y Juvenil 2024 with Sandra Comino at the National Library, and the Feria de Libros Infantil y Joven during my stay.
