Phidal Publishing: Inspiring Young Minds Through Colorful, Interactive Books

Phidal Publishing is a Canadian children’s book publisher founded in 1979 in Montréal by the Soussan family. Originally focused on adult-oriented titles like novels and reference guides, the company shifted its attention to children’s books in 1988, moving into its first full-time children’s location in the Mont-Royal district.

Since then, Phidal has become known for creating durable, colorful, and engaging books—designed not just to entertain, but to kindle a lifelong love for reading. With over four decades of experience, the company specializes in interactive formats—storybooks, activity books, puzzles, sticker books, paint-and-color books, and even waterproof bath-time titles—all aimed at sparking young imaginations and supporting early learning.

At the heart of Phidal’s offerings are vibrant collections that merge education and play. These include original lines like My Busy Books, Pocket Explorers, Little Classics, Learning Tabs, and Read & Doodle, alongside licensed titles featuring beloved characters from Disney, Marvel, Nickelodeon, and more.

Each collection brings a unique interactive twist—for example:

• 
  offer 10-page story sets complete with figurines and playmats so children can act out the narrative.
  
• 
  combines an original story with five puzzles tailored for toddlers aged 3 and up.
  
• 
  introduces timeless fairy tales in approachable, 24-page storybooks that support early cognitive development.
  

Phidal’s mission is clear: to make reading a fun, interactive experience that supports skill development and stays with children as they grow. Their books—available in bulk for classrooms and libraries—are trusted by families and educators worldwide.
