Resumen:	En la actualidad la publicación de libros para niños en Canadá es bastante distinta de la que imperaba en los años 70 y 80. Si bien todavía de tamaño pequeño y dependientes de subsidios federales, el número de casas editoriales que publican literatura para niños y jóvenes centrada en temáticas multiculturales ha experimentado un crecimiento notable. El rango es amplio e incluye nombres tales como Annick Press, Fifth house, Second Story, y Theytus Books. La situación hace cuarenta años era, sin embargo, radicalmente diferente. En aquellos días una de las casas innovadoras era Groundwood Books. En este artículo pretendemos analizar los orígenes del proyecto editorial, el contexto político, social y cultural del país, y tres obras de voces minoritarias que claramente marcaron el perfil y las aspiraciones de la editorial (Tales from Gold Mountain, de Paul Yee, A Coyote Columbus Story, de Thomas King y My Name is Seepeetza, de Shirley Sterling). Nuestro objetivo es entonces examinar el papel desempeñado por Groundwood Books en la promoción de una nueva poética en la literatura infantil y juvenil en el marco más amplio del proceso de construcción de la nación canadiense. In Canada today the children's book publishing scene is quite different from what it used to be in the 1970s and 1980s. Even if most publishers are small and rely heavily on federal grants the sheer range of publishing houses featuring the multicultural composition of the country and catering for children and young adults is vast. The pendulum covers houses such as Annick Press, Fifth house, Second Story, or Theytus Books. The situation forty years ago though was radically different. In those days one of the ground-breaking houses was Groundwood Books. In this article we intend to look into the origins of the project, the wider political, social and cultural context, and three works by minority voices which clearly marked the publishing house's profile and aspirations (Paul Yee's Tales from Gold Mountain, Thomas King's controversial A Coyote Columbus Story and Shirley Sterling's My Name is Seepeetza). Our aim thus is to afford insight into the part played by Groundwood Books in fostering a new poetics in clindren's books within the framework of Canada's nation-building process.
