Our events spotlight ethnically diverse and dual-heritage authors, sharing their inspiring stories with communities worldwide. From virtual storytelling sessions and author talks, to family-friendly in-person workshops, and literary festivals, each event is designed to ignite young imaginations, bring families together. Fostering a love for culturally rich literature is what we do best. Join us to explore, learn, and celebrate the power of stories that bring us closer.
At Children & Authors’ Literary Fanfare and Events, our in-person gatherings are vibrant celebrations of literature reflecting cultural diversity, creativity, and connection.
Although often held within museums and heritage spaces and libraries, we believe there are to be no barriers in access to reading for pleasure, especially in books that represent children of marginalised backgrounds.Â
Throughout 2026, CALFE will showcase a range of events and activities in support of the National Year of Reading campaign 'GO All In!' fostering passion-led reading experiences for every child and family - this is what we do best and are super delighted to be partnering on this targeted mission.
