The City of West Hollywood has co-sponsored and hosted the Los Angeles Kids' Book Festival since 2023. This keystone event from the American Born Chinese Foundation offers families and young readers an immersive experience that celebrates storytelling and the joy of reading. The festival will feature a wide range of activities catering to children of all ages, including interactive storytelling sessions, book readings by renowned authors, and engaging arts and crafts activities. Local authors and illustrators will be present to share their insights, inspirations, and stories behind their creations.
