ABOUT THE CHAPPAQUA CHILDREN'S BOOK FESTIVAL

A Magical Day For Literacy
Our annual children’s book festival is always a spectacular day in Westchester. There is real magic in meeting the people behind the stories your family loves and learns from.
Meet authors and illustrators, enjoy live storytimes with authors, learn from author talks, and have a ton of fun at the Family Fun Zone!

Thank you to the CCBF Nonprofit Sponsors
