KIDQUAKE
As part of our annual Litquake Festival, Kidquake consists of two days of in-person and virtual talks and meet-and-greets with a diverse array of children’s book creators, paired with activities run by the Bay’s best interactive educators. Each student leaves with a new book, and teachers receive a bag of books and other goodies for their classrooms.
Serving thousands of Bay Area K-5 public school students. 100% free.
