Penguin Young Readers Group: Nancy Paulsen Books | May 1, 2012

Nancy Paulsen Books/A Division of Penguin Young Readers launched its first hardcover list in Fall 2011. The imprint publishes approximately fifteen books a year and focuses on picture books that are eye-opening and often funny, and fiction from diverse and distinct voices, especially stories that are inventive and emotionally satisfying. These are the kinds of books that are adopted by book clubs and that appear on state lists, generated by the votes of children.
