Who’s On Tour

TD Canadian Children’s Book Week runs from Saturday, April 30 to Saturday, May 7, 2011. Thirty English-speaking authors, illustrators and storytellers will be visiting schools, libraries, bookstores and community centres in every province and territory across the country. Five award-winning Francophone authors and illustrators will also be touring Quebec during Book Week 2011.

The Book Week tour participants will travel to the shores of Newfoundland and Labrador, across the Prairies, through the mountains of British Columbia and up to the very tips of Nunavut, the Northwest Territories and the Yukon. They will visit schools, libraries, community centres and bookstores in every province and territory and speak to their audiences about the pleasures of reading, writing and illustrating books for children and teens.
