Each year since 2021, Saskatchewan has celebrated Family Literacy Day with a featured children’s book from a Saskatchewan author. We want your suggestions for Family Literacy Day 2025 using the national theme of “Learn to be Green, Together” where families learn more ways to be ‘green’ and be kind to the environment. (Learn more: www.familyliteracyday.ca. Pour en savoir plus: www.fld-jaf.ca)

The selected theme book is used in activities, author reading livestream, in-person events, purchased for giving away to families, and inspiring curated and created printable resources. This is a fantastic way for local books to reach thousands of kids and families across the province (and beyond!).

If you have questions, including about bulk book purchases, please contact us.

For ideas on how we have used the theme book for activities and resources in the past, the previous theme books are below.
