Question: What and When is Canadian Children's Book Week?
Answer: Canadian Children's Book Week is an annual week-long event, which is held every November. "TD Canadian Children's Book Week is the single most important national event celebrating Canadian children's books and the importance of reading." (Source: Official Book Week Site) TD Bank Financial Group is the title sponsor, which is why the event's official title is TD Canadian Children's Book Week.
Book Week events take place in every province and territory across Canada, hosted by schools, public libraries, bookstores and community centers. Authors, illustrators and storytellers tour the country during Book Week and share Canadian children's books.
The most impressive thing about TD Canadian Children's Book Week is the TD Grade One Book Giveaway Program. Through this program, every first grader in Canada receives the gift of a free book, in either English or French. Every year, more than 500,000 free books are distributed.
