Kids Can Press, the largest Canadian-owned children’s publisher in the world — home to major children’s brands Franklin the Turtle and Scaredy Squirrel, and to an array of international award-winning books — celebrated its 40th Anniversary in 2013. From its early years as a small collective borne out of a desire to publish high-quality, socially responsible children’s books, Kids Can Press has evolved into a broad-based content company, adapting as the world of books and publishing has changed through the decades. Kids Can Press consistently delivers high-quality print books that parents, teachers, librarians and children around the world have come to expect from the Toronto-based publisher, and currently leads the way in Canada with the most children’s illustrated ebooks in the market. Kids Can Press books continually garner critical acclaim, and for the past five years the publisher has dominated the Governor General’s Literary Awards, having won five awards for children’s books in as many years — more than any other children’s publisher since 2003 — most recently for Virginia Wolf (2012) and Ten Birds (2011). For 40 years, Kids Can Press has delivered exceptional children’s books through numerous formats (from audio books to game apps) and various marketplaces (from independent bookstores to ebook retailers), and looks forward to what the future brings to children’s publishing.
