Canadian Children's Book Centre
Since 2025, Paul Smith has been a member of the Canadian Children's Book Centre (CCBC)
"The CCBC was formed in 1976 with the belief that all Canadians should have the opportunity to read books created by Canadian authors and illustrators. Almost 50 years later, we’re still guided by this same belief. Since our founding, we’ve become a key player in the growing world of Canadian children’s books. Each of our programs are accessible across Canada, reaching cities and remote communities alike."
