We are hard at work planning the 10th Annual Social Justice Children's Book Fair!

Last month, fair organizers Rob, Inno, and Laura met with long-time collaborators and new connections to reflect, brainstorm, and strategize about how to make the Social Justice Children's Book Fair even more impactful. The afternoon was full of good food, great conversation, and even better storytelling!

Join us in celebrating social justice children's literature in the Bay Area and volunteer for this year's festival.
