For me, it's "Vimy" by Pierre Berton.
I was given this book by my dad at a very early age, and it kickstarted a fierce lifelong pride and love for my country and its rich (albeit relatively short) history. It is also the first book that I had read that was wholly Canadian in scope and content. It is not only a masterpiece of Canadian history, but a detailed and accurate portrayal of the Great War in the trenches.
