The Nikkei Children’s Book Festival will be held on Saturday, Sept.20, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Japanese American National Museum’s Democracy Center, 100 N. Central Ave. in Little Tokyo.

Dokusho no aki means “fall is for reading,” expressing the sentiment that the cozy and short days of autumn are the best time to pick up a book. Jump into the reading season with JANM’s Nikkei Children’s Book Festival and celebrate the breadth and diversity of children’s literature across the Japanese American community.

The festival will be full of author storytimes for kids, Q&As for adults, activities for all ages, and a special pop-up bookstore from the JANM Store.

Admission: $10 general, free for youth (under 18) and JANM members.
