What Attendees Say

AFCC is important as it highlights the significance of Asian children's literature and how Asian kidlit by Asian authors means so much for our children. We write the stories we know and we own our experiences.

One of my AFCC highlights is the author meet and greet and book signing sessions. They were something special to remember!
