The Canadian Children's Book Centre is excited to announce the title for the 2022 TD Grade One Book Giveaway. Fast Friends, written by Heather M. O’Connor, illustrated by Claudia Dávila, and published by Scholastic Canada, will be distributed to over 550,000 Grade 1 students in fall 2022.
In this fun and heartwarming story of friendship and overcoming obstacles, Suze, a nonverbal child, is introduced to high-energy Tyson’s class. At first, everyone is tentative about him being around her but while the other students and even the teacher don’t understand Suze, Tyson does. Tyson and Suze have more in common than anyone thought and they become Fast Friends.
Fast Friends will be distributed through school boards, library organizations and ministries of education to every Grade 1 child in Canada, including those in remote areas and Indigenous communities. For children with print disabilities, there will be an option for an ebook version with image descriptions or a print braille edition of the title.
Administered by the Canadian Children’s Book Centre and through the generous support of TD Bank Group, every year the TD Grade One Book Giveaway gives the gift of a great Canadian children’s picture book to every Grade 1 student in Canada. Working with ministries of education, school boards and library organizations, the CCBC distributes over 550,000 giveaway books annually. Since 2000, over 12 million books have been given to Grade 1 students across Canada. For many children, this will be the first book they have ever owned.
