Every purchase is two books.
One for you. One for a Canadian kid who might never have picked up a book about starting a business — until yours put it in their hands.
The mission
1,000,000
Canadian kids reached with one idea: entrepreneurship belongs to them. That's the mission — and every single purchase moves the count.
How it works
1. You buy a book — for your family, your classroom, or as a gift.
2. We give a book — a second copy of Ice Pop Shop goes to a child through schools, community programs, and hospitals — at no cost to them.
3. A kid meets an idea — budgeting, goal-setting, resilience, and the notion that they could build something of their own. Skills most of us learned too late, delivered at exactly the right age.
Not keeping a copy? The Give a Book option skips your copy entirely and sends one straight to a child.
Why it matters
Business skills are life skills. Kids who learn to set goals, create a budget, work a plan, and recover from disaster carry those skills into adulthood — whether or not they ever open an ice pop shop.
And books about entrepreneurship almost never reach the kids who would gain the most from them. Buy One, Give One exists to close the gap — one purchase, one gift, one million kids.
Partner with Buy One, Give One
Buy One, Give One is a national financial-literacy and entrepreneurship mission with a simple, story-first delivery: a beloved chapter book, free curriculum-aligned lesson plans in classrooms across Canada, and a Buy One, Give One engine that scales with every partner who joins.
For a bank, credit union, or brand whose story is built on enterprise and financial confidence, this is a rare fit: measurable reach into classrooms, a warm family-facing brand, and a mission your customers instantly understand.
Partnership can look like: sponsoring book donations at scale (a school, a district, a province), co-branded classroom programs, underwriting author visits for underserved schools, or founding-partner status as the project grows toward one million kids.
