Mission Statement
The CCBF was created to provide children in the community
and surrounding areas the opportunity to meet and interact
with established authors and illustrators and thereby promote
among those children a love of, and respect for, the literary arts
and illustration. The means of achieving this purpose is an
annual children's book festival in Chappaqua, NY. In addition,
the CCBF has made contributions to local charities that are
working towards to goal of childhood literacy.
