To everyone who joined the FOLD Kids Virtual Webinar yesterday—thank you! We loved having such a diverse group of educators from across Canada with us. It was especially exciting to see so many of you attending FOLD Kids for the very first time—welcome to our community!

If you couldn’t make it live, no worries—we’ve got the full recording ready for you. We hope it gives you some fresh ideas and inspiration to bring even more inclusive stories into your classrooms.

FOLD Kids Book Fest presents Building Inclusive Classrooms with Diverse Books, a free virtual webinar designed to help teachers, librarians, and school leaders create learning environments where all students feel represented in literature.

In this practical, one-hour session, we’ll explore how our book lists, virtual festival events and free literary resources can help you select critical, Canadian titles and amplify underrepresented voices across subjects and grade levels. You’ll leave with concrete ideas for curating inclusive classroom libraries and integrating diverse stories into your curriculum.

Whether you’re committed to equity and representation, or just beginning your journey toward a more culturally responsive practice, this session will give you the tools and inspiration you need to make a meaningful impact this year.
