In 2020, The Brooklyn Book Festival goes virtual.

Part of the Brooklyn Book Festival, Children’s Day (for young readers ages 2 to 11), will include favorite children's and middle-grade authors. Celebrate Children's Day's 5th anniversary with a stellar lineup of picture books authors, illustrators, international children’s books, workshops and activities including a costume parade, a scavenger hunt, bilingual programs and more. 

The Children’s Day festival grounds in Downtown Brooklyn’s MetroTech Commons include a Picture Book Stage, Young Readers Stage and vibrant, activity-filled Children’s Book Marketplace.

Top programming this year will include picture book stars Mo Willems and Raúl Colón as well as Nick Bruel, Grace Lin, Sarah Mlynowski, Raúl the Third, and Ibi Zoboi, among others.
