The Festival of Literary Diversity Kids Bookfest: One Earth – Youth Rally for the Planet [All Ages]

The FOLD Kids Bookfest includes a fantastic array of events featuring a diverse array of authors and illustrators who’ve created books for young people (ages 0-18). In addition to events centred around children and young people, the festival includes opportunities for adult writers of children’s literature to take part in pitch sessions and to develop their craft through in-person workshops with the festival’s incredible lineup of authors.

One Earth: Youth Rally for the Planet
