The Impact

Our Results

StoryBook Ottawa has delivered over 3,000 books to Ottawa children.


2021-2022: We delivered books to 922 children in 5 elementary schools in low-income neighbourhoods.


2022-2023: We delivered books to 2,047 children in 10 elementary schools in low-income neighbourhoods.


2023-2024: We delivered books to 2,281 children in 11 elementary schools in low-income neighbourhoods.


Most children in our partner schools receive their very first book from StoryBook Ottawa. The joy and excitement experienced by children when they receive their book is overwhelming! 


By giving children from low-income Ottawa neighbourhoods a book of their choice, StoryBook Ottawa has helped schools to:


  • improve reading skills
  • foster a love of reading
  • increase the frequency of reading at home
  • enable children to share books and stories with friends
  • improve the literacy skills of their family members
  • improve Education Quality and Accountability Office (EQAO) scores
  • create a school culture of reading


Many of the graduating students in our partner schools now own the eight books they have received from StoryBook Ottawa, from Junior Kindergarten to Grade 6.
