I Read Canadian Day: November 2

Get ready!  

It's less than a week away until Wednesday, November 2 when we'll be commemorating the wealth of books for young readers by Canadian authors and illustrators on our I Read Canadian Day. Now's the time to get on board and CanLit for LittleCanadians would like to encourage everyone–schools, libraries, day cares, community groups and families– to join the rest of Canada in reading, being read to, or listening to a Canadian book for 15 minutes on that day. To that end, here's where to get free resources, sign up for free author and illustrator presentations, and become part of a national reading party like no other!
