BC Books Online was created for anyone interested in BC-published books, and with librarians especially in mind. We'd like to make it easy for library staff to learn about books from BC publishers - both new releases and backlist titles - so you can inform your patrons and keep your collections up to date.
Our site features print books and ebooks - both new releases and backlist titles - all of which are available to order through regular trade channels. Browse our subject categories to find books of interest or create and export lists by category to cross-reference with your library's current collection.
A quick tip: When reviewing the "Browse by Category" listings, please note that these are based on standardized BISAC Subject Codes supplied by the books' publishers. You will find additional selections, grouped by theme or region, in our "BC Reading Lists."
One kiss, two kiss, three kiss, four! So many kisses and so many more.
From bestselling author Richard Van Camp comes a delightful counting book that honors families and can be used to praise your little ones as they learn to count. Ten kisses from your sweet baby might not be enough to get you through this adorable book, so you'll just have to read it over and over!
Orca Book Publishers is pleased to offer this bilingual book (full text in both English and Plains Cree) in two accessible editions. The audiobook features alternate text descriptions of images, including the cover. The epub edition of this title is fully accessible.
"Delightful…Underlines the special bond between and among family members."
"Whether readers have brown skin or light skin, are mothers, fathers, or elders, this book is 'as welcome as the light from the sun,' as Van Camp's text aptly puts it. A wonderful expression of love and welcome song of hope manifested in a book about counting kisses."
"This is one of those books you'll want to give to lots of people…Van Camp gives us so much…Highly recommended. Get a copy. You'll see. It is a delight!"
