One-Time Donation
Your donations help us bring good books to Canadian children. One-time donations go directly to the CCBC’s programs and initiatives, including:
TD Grade One Book Giveaway, which provides a free book to all Grade 1 students across the country.
Canadian Children’s Book Week, where touring creators speak to audiences about the delights of reading Canadian children’s books, and offer inside looks into their own work.
Publications like Best Books for Kids & Teens and Canadian Children’s Book News, which help parents, caregivers, and educators navigate the world of Canadian children’s literature.
