Bess Press Book Fair

As publishers, instilling a love for books in keiki begins with understanding our role in the literary ecosystem which extends beyond the act of creating books to also making these stories and storytellers accessible to educators, caregivers, and librarians.

By partnering with our local schools, Bess Press helps bring these locally-rooted, keiki-focused literary fairs to life.

———

For many of us, the phrase "book fair" conjures an exuberant nostalgia: the literary equivalent of a candy store, right there in our own school. Over the years, we have experienced the growing request from librarians and school administrators looking to connect this excitement for books to local, place-based stories.
