I have loved each experience at the Children’s French Book Corner. Mme Grimard has provided the perfect books for the students I tutor and my child. Also especially during lockdown, she has been so helpful in catering to each individual request. J’adore cette petite librairie francophone!

Living in Toronto with kids in the French school board, it is hard to find books that are not part of the Scholastic, and items from the library are limited. And being a native non-French speaker, it is sometimes a challenge to find recommendations for educational books. I’ve been looking for a few years now for a French equivalent or translated versions of some amazing inclusive books on sex education. I emailed Lynda and she was extremely helpful in sourcing some books for me (one that I had been wanting to buy for awhile and forgot about). And then it was so easy to just pick up from her store! The bookstore is also on the same block as an amazing sushi bar, Hungarian restaurant, Package-free Coffee House and Reusable and bulk goods store. So many errands and dishes in one small block! I’ll be contacting Lynda again in the future for sure, and highly recommend her.

Just picked up a book for my son from here today. Lynda Grimard-Watt was so helpful providing options through email and I was able to pay easily via e-transfer. Thanks again!

We stopped in over March Break to pick up some French activity books and books to read in anticipation of the school shutdown and Lynda Grimard-Watt was so helpful with suggestions based on our kids’ interests and reading levels. The Children’s French Book Corner is an absolute gem!

What a great little store. The owner is very friendly and helpful. She even runs a local mailing list for local Franco-Ontarian events.

The shop keeper is very knowledgeable about the children’s book in her shop and she helped me pick out age appropriate books for my francophone god children. We had a lovely bilingual conversation. This place is a little gem and I encourage you to support local businesses!

Since the moment I walked in I was greeted. Nice, cozy and what I loved most was the little table for kids to get distracted while I looked at the books.
