NOTICE REGARDING CCBC TOUR
The Canadian Children’s Book Centre, CCBC, has changed how it is focusing its support for literacy and reading. An announcement was made that In 2020 fewer authors, illustrators and only one Storyteller would be touring. Later it was announced that no Storyteller would be part of the tour for 2020. Then In light of the Covid-19 situation the tour was cancelled completely
SC-CC had selected the Tellers and CCBC selects the authors and Illustrators. SC-CC does its selection a year ahead. That is how we have ended up in a situation where Tellers were all ready to tour and now have to face a disappointing wait. The Tellers selected for the 2020 tour and beyond would have priority/ first refusal for any upcoming tour.
So, we wait with fingers crossed and breath held for an opportunity to once again offer this tour to members of SC-CC.
