Birthday Calendar

A European tradition, the birthday calendar hangs in every home in Holland to remind family members to send cards or plan celebrations.

This perpetual calendar features the art of 12 Canadian illustrators and has space to write in birthdays and anniversaries.

Designed by PS Design (who also design Canadian Children’s Book News), this calendar is for sale at $10.00.

Publishers and illustrators have been very supportive in granting permission to use the art and the calendar promises to be a joyous celebration of some of this country’s finest talents as well as a useful and attractive item for your home or the perfect gift!
