Upcoming releases for Winter and Spring 2020

I get so excited at this time of year, anticipating a new year and a plethora of new titles of books for young people by Canadian authors and illustrators. There's a little bit of something for everyone: funny picture books, illustrated biographies, short story collections, sequels in favourite series, issues-driven young adult novels and an assortment of graphic novels. (In fact, there's a few more than anticipated, as several titles were released just after Christmas and I have added them to the January lists just to make sure that they weren't missed.)

With the inaugural I Read Canadian Day happening on February 19, 2020, I hope you find something to read or share with young readers on that day.  (Details on my post about the day should send teachers, librarians, parents and readers in the right direction to plan for joining in the day's events.)

Happy Reading for 2020!
