ADDITIONAL BIOGRAPHICAL INFORMATION

Offering board books, picture books, middle readers, novels, nonfiction, and religious titles for children and young adults, we at EBYR seek to engage young minds with books — books that are honest, wise, and hopeful; books that delight us with their storyline, characters, or good humor; books that inform, inspire, and entertain. We are especially interested at this time in stories that celebrate diversity, stories of historical significance, and stories that relate to contemporary social issues. Publishing 12 to 18 new books every year, we aim to provide quality literature to a new generation of readers.
