SJCBF Award Ceremony

The Social Justice Children’s Book Fair Award is an annual award given to a children’s author whose work embodies our mission to support “independent creators who conceive, develop, distribute, and champion social justice-themed children’s books.” The 2025 Award is the inaugural award, and will be given to three authors: Mona Damluji for her book I Want You to Know, Raquel Donoso for Viva’s Voice, and Maya Gonzalez for The Gender and Infinity Book for Kids. There are many authors whose work we love–these are just three we have chosen to represent us this year. The Award includes a $500 check and the purchase and distribution of 1000 copies of the books by The Conscious Kid. Come celebrate with us at Chapter 510 in Oakland.
