The Kids Can Press list includes characters such as Franklin the Turtle—the single most successful publishing franchise in the history of Canadian publishing, which has sold over 65 million books in over 30 languages around the world. It was chosen as the principal distributor of the Indigenous Peoples Atlas of Canada.[2] DescriptionKids Can Press started in 1973 as an initiative from the Ontario College of Art to take advantage of the growing nationalism within Canada during the '70s to provide locally relevant children's material. In 1986, the publisher became a privately owned business ran by Valerie Hussey and Ricky Englander.[3] In 1998, the company was purchased by Canadian animation firm Nelvana for $6.1 million.[4] Englander left that year.[3] In 2000, Nelvana itself was acquired by Corus Entertainment, who has operated Kids Can Press since.[5] Hussey remained at the company until 2006, when she stepped down and was replaced by Lisa Lyons.[3][6] Kids Can Press has published in partnership with more Canadian public institutions than any other children’s publisher. Partners include: the Royal Ontario Museum, the Ontario Science Centre, the Federation of Ontario Naturalists, the National Museum, the Museum of Nature, World Wildlife and the National Hockey League. Kids Can Press books have received critical acclaim and numerous nominations and awards. Some highlights include:
