Are you part of a corporation that is looking to give back? First Book Canada partners with corporations and other outstanding organizations that care about making a difference in the lives of Canadian kids and heroic educators.
Since 2009, First Book Canada has distributed more than 10 million high-quality books and educational resources to programs and schools serving children from low-income in Canada. Corporate engagement opportunities offer a hands-on way to give back beyond donations, creating direct impact in the lives of millions of children in need.
All donations to First Book Canada provides brand-new, age-appropriate books to kids who have none, and help fill classroom libraries with books and resources. Most importantly, your generosity bestows a love of reading, the fuel for the imagination, and the ability for families to bond together.

On May 4th First Book Canada hosted a reading celebration at Catholic Crosscultural Services in Mississauga. This reading celebration supported newcomer families who attend CCS. Families got to meet author, Anitha Rao-Robinson @anitharobinson4 and she read her book Music of the Bells. Each child got to take home a signed copy of the book.
Catholic Crosscultural Services helps immigrants, refugees and vulnerable groups through programs that foster their success and promote welcoming communities. Learn more at https://ccscan.ca/ @ccsnewcomersgta

Happy Canadian Children's book Week 📚✨
Thanks to the Canadian Children’s Book Centre @kidsbookcentre , Canadian Children’s Book Week connects Canadian creators with children and teens across Canada. The touring authors, illustrators, and storytellers speak to audiences about the delights of reading Canadian children’s books, and offer an inside look into their own work. These workshops and presentations can be a turning point in a child’s life, inspiring a lifelong love of reading.❤️
The 2026 theme, This Is Our Home, These Are Our Stories/Nos histoires chez nous, reminds us the importance of celebrating Canadian stories and storytellers.
This year's poster features art from talented Canadian author-illustrator Mangeshig Pawis-Steckley @mangeshig .
Thanks to the participating authors and illustrators who are sharing their stories and inspiring young readers. @sher.emil@biglanddesign@andytolsonbooks@kimspencerwrites@staceychomiakart

In 2025, First Book Canada launched our Elementary Classroom Poster for early and elementary-aged learners. Available in English and French, it’s already been downloaded over 1,000 times and mailed to nearly 100 Canadian teachers, librarians, and youth leaders, helping spark early conversations about changemaking.
We’re excited to share that the poster is now available in Plains Cree, expanding access for more communities. This release is part of our ongoing commitment through Time for Change in Canada to the Truth and Reconciliation Commission’s Call to Action #62, by building and sharing educational materials that highlight Indigenous voices and support learning and connection.
More languages will be rolling out soon - stay tuned!
