About Us
Welcome to the Kolkata Children’s Literature Festival (KCLF) – a celebration of stories, imagination, and creativity for young minds. Launched in January 2023, KCLF has quickly blossomed into a vibrant platform where children, educators, authors, and illustrators come together to explore the magical world of literature.
Our Vision
At KCLF, we believe that every child deserves the joy of discovering stories that inspire, educate, and empower. We aim to ignite a lifelong love for reading and creativity, fostering a community where young readers can connect with the voices that shape their dreams and ideas.
Our Journey
In our inaugural year, KCLF captured the hearts of thousands with an engaging blend of storytelling sessions, interactive workshops, and performances that highlighted the diverse tapestry of children’s literature.
