IBBY Canada is a non-profit organization committed to bringing books and children together as a way to foster understanding and friendship between children of different cultures. We believe that children’s literature can bring about positive change.
Founded in 1980, IBBY Canada is one of 75 National Sections of the International Board on Books for Young People. IBBY was founded in Switzerland in 1953.
Reading with Newcomer Children launched in 2018 and since its inception has served hundreds of refugee and immigrant children ages 6-12.
Among our volunteers are teachers, students, librarians, storytellers, writers, illustrators, and readers with a range of career and life experiences. They all believe in IBBY’s core mission of bringing books and children together.
IBBY Canada is pleased to present the 2021 edition of From Sea to Sea to Sea: Celebrating Indigenous Picture Books.
25 of the best Indigenous picture books published in Canada between 2018–2020 were selected for this collection. Care was taken to ensure that the collection reflects the diversity of First Nations, Métis, and Inuit voices from sea to sea to sea, and that the titles are available and in print for anyone who wishes to access them.
The selection committee considered over 100 titles in curating this collection. The previous edition of the collection was released in 2018.
