How this list is built
We pull all live Children's Books projects on Kickstarter (refreshed every 8 hours), then rank them by either Lens Score (for projects with at least 24 hours of data) or Early Momentum (for projects in their first 72 hours). The top 10 land here.
No editorial weighting — the ranking is the math. The list updates automatically every hour, so the projects on this page next week may not be the same ones you see today.
