The Canadian Children's Book Centre

The Canadian Children's Book Centre (CCBC) was established in 1976 to ensure all Canadians have access to books by Canadian authors and illustrators. Over nearly 50 years, the CCBC has become a major player in Canadian children’s literature, making its programs accessible nationwide. The organization emphasizes the importance of Canadian children and youth seeing themselves in the stories they read, which reflect the unique cultures, identities, and geographies of Canada.

The CCBC places equity, diversity, and inclusion at the heart of its mission, striving to amplify under-represented voices in Canadian children's literature. The organization’s book awards and publications celebrate diversity and representation as key aspects of excellence. Through its various programs and resources, the CCBC works to provide children with diverse and inclusive stories, helping them feel a sense of belonging in their communities.
