The TD Grade One Book Giveaway program provides a free Canadian picture book to all Grade 1 students across Canada. We believe that all children should have access to books, regardless of their background or socioeconomic status. This is why we give Grade 1 students a book to call their own, with the hope that it leads them toward a love of reading. These books help students explore important topics like diversity and inclusion.
