I Am Canada: Celebrating Canadian Picture Book Art

About the Exhibit

Hope, happiness, possibilities ... home. What does Canada mean to you?

Children's picture books tell many stories about what it is like to grow up in Canada. This exhibit celebrates the work of best-loved Canadian illustrators who bring these stories to life.

I Am Canada showcases original picture book art from Toronto Public Library's Osborne Collection of Early Children's Books and the private collection of Scholastic Canada, which has been introducing young people to the joys of reading for 60 years.
