About the Author, Illustrator and Storyteller Directory
Each week, the Canadian Children’s Book Centre receives phone calls and emails from teachers and librarians across the country that are eager to get in touch with Canadian authors, illustrators and storytellers regarding school and library visits.
To help make these vital connections, the CCBC coordinates an online Directory of Authors, Illustrators and Storytellers Available for School and Library Visits. This directory contains information about the best way to contact you, the types of presentations that you do, the grade levels of the children you prefer to work with, your reading and workshop fees, and a bibliography of your recent work.
The Canadian Children's Book Centre hopes that through this directory, we will be able to help promote your work to a wide audience of children and young adults.
