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.

May we all continue to thrive and grow under the Greenwillow!
