Canadian KidLit Gala: 2019 (Toronto, ON)

Writers! Illustrators!

Lovers of youngCanLit!

On October 15, 2019, the second Canadian KidLit Gala will be held as the *unofficial* after-party of the Canadian Children's Literature Awards. The brain child of authors Ishta Mercurio, Kari Maaren, Star Spider and Claudia Osmond, the Canadian KidLit Gala will celebrate the winners and nominees of the 2019 Canadian Children's Book Awards and all creators of Canadian children's books. It will be a great opportunity to celebrate, schmooze, imbibe, and share with writers and illustrators of youngCanLit.

This volunteer-run event will be fundraising for the Canadian Children's Book Centre to support the Children's Book Week, an annual event that allows dozens of Canadian children's authors and illustrators to visit and present to thousands of Canadian kids across the country.

The event will include the music of The Intentions, canapés, a live auction and raffle (with everything from book bundles to critiques to original art), drinks and dancing.

Canadian KidLit Masquerade Gala (Toronto, ON)

Writers! Illustrators! 
Lovers of youngCanLit!

On October 29, 2018, the TD Children's Literature Awards will be presented in an exclusive event in Toronto. Because of limited venue capacity, many authors and illustrators and members of the Canadian Children's Book Centre will not be able to share in honouring their peers on this special night.  As such, a special event, the Canadian KidLit Masquerade Ball, the brain child of authors Kari Maaren, Ishta Mercurio, Claudia Osmond and Star Spider, will be held as the official *unofficial* after party.  It will be a great opportunity to celebrate, schmooze, imbibe, and share with writers and illustrators of youngCanLit.

Come celebrate the nominees and winners of this year's TD Children's Literature Awards and all those who create great books for children and teens in Canada.
