The CCBC is now accepting submissions for the spring 2027 selection period for Best Books for Kids & Teens (BBKT). The deadline to complete the title submission form(s) is November 27, 2026. The physical books are due at Tinlids no later than December 4, 2026.
We receive hundreds of submissions each year. Expert committees of educators, booksellers and school and public librarians from across Canada handpick the materials listed in the guide. Committees look for excellence in writing and illustration. Most importantly, these committees focus on selecting materials that will appeal to children and young adults.
