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.

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!
