The Akada Children’s Book Festival (ACBF) is a fun event to showcase children’s books written by African authors, or books written for a diverse audience of children. To the best of our knowledge, ACBF is the first Nigerian book festival specifically for children. The inaugural event took place on April 27, 2019 at the British Council in Ikoyi, Lagos and attracted over 1400 attendees. The festival is an initiative of the Publisher of Clever Clogs Books, Olubunmi Aboderin Talabi. The 2020 event will be held online over 2 days. On the first day, Friday October 30th there will be professional workshops for children’s book writers, illustrators and publishers. On the second day, Saturday October 31st there will be author book readings; Book Chat; Giggle Box; Happy Tunes; story time; pop quizzes and prizes; fun workshops for children and insightful sessions for parents and teachers.
