Children’s Book Council

The Children’s Book Council (CBC) is the nonprofit trade association of children’s book publishers in North America, dedicated to supporting the industry and promoting children’s books and reading.

CBC is dedicated to supporting the children’s publishing industry through programming that connects and educates publishing professionals, advocates for a more inclusive industry, and shines a light on the books, creators, and resources available for young readers. CBC members span the spectrum from large international houses to smaller independent presses. Membership in the CBC is open to North American-based publishers of children’s books, as well as those producing children’s book-related original content.
