In 2009, Ontario's Kids Can Press launched a collection of books called CitizenKid. Each gives children a “kids-eye” view of the world at large, and connects them to global issues like diversity, poverty, water, and ecosystems. CitizenKid books are published here in Ontario, but their market is clearly the world. They’ve been distributed in 24 countries and 19 languages, and are the industry hallmark for connecting children to global issues via books.
