What a stellar line-up!!

Presale of all books and artwork begins Tuesday, October 1st and will continue until each illustrator has pre-sold 200 books or close of business (5pm PST) on Saturday, November 30th, whichever comes first. More details to be announced, so keep checking back for the latest buzz!

Come for the art and books and stay all day!
As in the past, we'll have our tent set up for the illustrator talks, demos and presentation. Where else in California can you view original children's book illustrations, meet the artists and get your books signed and dedicated all at the same time?

CES provides world class tutoring to K-6 grade students regardless of financial resources and creates custom libraries of books for students to take home. They also provide after school programs in the community and a pathway to bring 1st generation students to the university level.
