Creation of The Sea to Sea: Celebrating Indigenous Picture Books catelogue was initiated by the International Board of Books for Young People (IBBY) in response to the Truth and Reconciliation Commission's Calls for Action and in keeping with IBBY's stated goal to support the right of every child to become a reader through access to high-quality books. The first collection was published in 2018 and included 100 titles. In 2021, a second edition was created, with 25 of the best books published since the first catelogue. IBBY has taken care to curate lists reflecting the diversity of First Nations, Métis, and Inuit voices across Canada, from sea to sea to sea, and that the books included are available and in print for anyone who wishes to access them.

The third edition was published in June of 2023, containing 25 new titles published since 2021.
