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."
Set in the mountains overlooking Vancouver, British Columbia, and its surroundings, this under-five follow-up to the hugely popular On My Walk features a very young child learning to ski.
Another delightful collaboration between Kari-Lynn Winters and Christina Leist, On My Skis takes very young children on a little journey around Vancouver. Whimsical and strikingly original illustrations are set to Winter's irresistibly rhythmic story.
“Small size, short text, and common experiences make this a good choice for reading aloud at home.”
