The Asian Festival of Children’s Content (AFCC) 2025 embraces the theme of “Discovery | 发掘 | Penemuan | கண்டறிதல் | 발견 ".

Embark on the journey to discover a universe of multicultural children’s literature. Learn about the emotional power of Asian stories; unpack the issues and topics that children’s books face today; and engage in imaginative play that awakens all the different senses. Hear from writers and practitioners as they share about developing impactful textual and visual narratives using various tools and technologies; igniting the joy and passion for reading; building literacies in a multilingual environment; as well as understanding diverse cultures through translation.

Empower your learning and creative journey, and experience the world of Asian kidlit at AFCC 2025!
