We help make books more accessible to young readers, and strive to ensure that all Canadian children can see themselves in the books they read.

Our dedication to promoting equity, diversity, and inclusion has helped introduce young readers to important issues faced by our society.

We use our nationwide platform to boost the voices of new creators—especially those who are under-represented in Canadian literature.

Programs like Canadian Children’s Book Week give emerging creators the opportunity to showcase their work to a massive audience.
