From the Editor: February 2026

We’re excited to share an important new chapter for our magazine.

As of this issue, we have moved fully online. Our magazine is now available on our website, with all content freely accessible to readers everywhere. This change allows us to reach more educators, librarians, parents, writers and illustrators across the country and beyond.

Our mission remains the same. We continue to publish thoughtful articles, in-depth profiles, and trusted reviews focused exclusively on Canadian children’s books. We are proud to be the only publication in Canada solely dedicated to promoting and reviewing books created for young people by Canadian authors and illustrators. That commitment—to celebrate, support, and champion Canadian children’s literature—guides everything we do.

Moving online gives us the opportunity to share timely content, expand our reach, and make Canadian children’s literature more visible and accessible than ever before. Thank you for reading, supporting, and believing in the importance of Canadian books for young readers. We’re thrilled to begin this next chapter with you.

Happy reading!

Shannon Barnes
