canadian Children’s book centre tour spring 2026

I’m thrilled to be on the roster for the 2026 Chidren’s Book Centre tour spring 2026. Thirty-two authors, illustrators, and storytellers have been selected to take part in this hybrid tour. Of the thirty-two tour participants, twenty-seven participants are touring as part of the event for the first time. This year’s roster was chosen in consultation with a volunteer committee. During the week-long celebration, the touring authors, illustrators and storytellers will celebrate the magic of creating stories and the joy of books and reading with kids and teens. For more information, check out the CCBC site.
