There’s something quietly powerful about a child opening a book for the first time.
The weight of the pages.
The excitement of the illustrations.
The moment a story sparks imagination, confidence, and curiosity.
At Usborne Books at Home Canada, we believe every child deserves that moment—no matter where they live or what challenges their family may be facing. That’s why, this February, our Consultants are coming together once again to advocate for a brighter future through our national “For the Love of Literacy” Book Drive.
Why Children’s Literacy Matters—Now More Than Ever
Literacy is more than learning to read. It’s the foundation for lifelong learning, emotional development, and opportunity.
When children have access to quality books:
- They build stronger language and communication skills
- They develop empathy and understanding of the world around them
- They gain confidence, independence, and a love of learning
But for many families across Canada, books aren’t always easily accessible. Community charities, shelters, and family support programs play a vital role in filling that gap, and that’s where this book drive makes a real, tangible difference.
How the Book Drive Works
From February 1st to 28th, 2026, every purchase made with an Usborne Canada Consultant helps turn everyday book shopping into something extraordinary.
Here’s how your support helps:
- Every customer purchase throughout February helps your Consultant earn boxes of Usborne books
- Each box is filled with $200 worth of pristine, in-new-condition Usborne books
- Consultants then donate those books to children’s charities of their choosing, right in their own communities across Canada
It’s a simple act—buying books you already love—that helps extend the joy of reading to children and families who need it most.
A Growing Impact Across Canada
Thanks to the generosity of our customers and the dedication of our Consultants, this initiative has already made an incredible difference.
With your help, since 2020 our Consultants have been able to donate over $97,500 worth of Usborne books to children’s charities all across Canada!
We aren’t just sharing books. Together, we are advocating for a brighter future.
