The California Childrens Booksellers Alliance (CCBA)


The California Childrens Booksellers Alliance is a partnership of booksellers, librarians, authors, and sales reps from our multifaceted publishing world. The primary goal is to share ideas, discover new publishers and authors, and share best practices for building a strong and healthy children's bookselling community, 
 
CALIBA membership includes membership in CCBA, plus access to our 150 member Google list-serve-our forum and private FaceBook page, both great places for asking questions of the group, or posting topics of interest and importance.

Our associate membership with authors, illustrators, librarians, and publishers insures an extra degree of perspective and insight.

Picture
The concept of children’s books as “windows and mirrors”* is simple: that children’s literature should contain diverse characters and experiences such that all children can find representations of their own experiences and identities (“mirrors”), and be exposed to many experiences and identities of people unlike themselves (“windows”). Each year, the Mirrors & Windows Committee selects two titles created by California authors and/or illustrators - one picture book, one middle grade or YA title - that reflects and shares diversity in its many forms. 
Thank you to Dr. Rudine Sims Bishop introducing the idea of Mirrors & Windows. 
​
We're accepting submissions for the 2021 Mirrors & Windows selections. Find more information here.  (HIcklebee's)
