As part of a major expansion of Phaidon Kids, Phaidon Press's children's publishing imprint, Netta Rabin has joined the company as publisher, children's books. She was most recently publisher and creative director of the Klutz division of Scholastic. She began her publishing career in a small design studio before moving on to both major and independent houses, including Reader's Digest, Penguin Random House, and Workman Publishing. Throughout her career, Phaidon said, Rabin has been dedicated to creating beautiful, thoughtful books that inspire and engage children of all ages. She has collaborated with renowned artists, innovators, and writers, including Eric Carle, R.J. Palacio, and Jordan Matter. Phaidon is also in the process of hiring a children's art director.
The moves come as Phaidon Kids celebrates its 20th anniversary with a global program of events, a limited-edition Jean Jullien bookstore poster, giveaways, and original digital content. It's also bringing back into print Tomi Ungerer's The Three Robbers, Fog Island, and Moon Man, as well as Hervé Tullet's Let's Play Series. New titles include Superpowered Plants, The Secret Powers of Animals, Nature's Tiny Champions, and Get Dressed!. All emphasize that Phaidon Kids has been inspired by Phaidon's books with artists, chefs, writers and thinkers to publish books in the categories of art, food, science, fashion, and more.
