Virginia Duncan

Greenwillow Books was founded by Susan Hirschman on December 16, 1974, and published its first list in the fall of 1975. Hundreds of award-winning, bestselling, high-quality, boundary-breaking, entertaining, informational, joyful, and child-friendly books followed, all with one common thread: a deep and abiding respect for young readers, whether they are two or ten or sixteen.

The original Greenwillow staff:
Ada Shearon, Libby Shub, Ava Weiss, and Susan Hirschman

Now as Greenwillow celebrates 50 years of publishing—HOORAY!—and as we sow the seeds for many more, we are thrilled to shine a spotlight on our distinguished backlist ("Wow, that's just about all I can say!") and on our phenomenal and beloved authors and artists past, present, and future. May we all continue to thrive and grow under the Greenwillow!
