Mission Statement

The business of the Orange County Children's Book Festival is to organize and promote a
magical, first-class family fair that features children's book authors, illustrators, publishers, and
related vendors, in a well-planned, safe, community environment; the result of which is a profitable
event for charities that inspires the love of books, the joy of reading and helps to increase literacy.

country including celebrity authors such as Jamie Lee Curtis, author of Big Words for Little
People, Barney Saltzberg, author of Crazy Hair Day, and Robin Preiss Glasser, illustrator of the
