2020 Latinx Kidlit Book Festival

 Program Festival https://www.latinxkidlitbookfestival.com  



#LKBF2020 video sessions are available on YouTube and will continue to be available indefinitely: https://www.youtube.com/c/LatinxKidLitBookFestival/videos

Thank you to the #LKBF2020 sponsors for supporting these authors and illustrators. Let's do our best as librarians to get these books into the hands of all young people and particularly those whose life experiences appear less often in children's and young adult literature.

It's a matter of equity and social justice.
