Well, its really exciting for us to have you reading this!

Nosy Crow is a new, independent publisher based in London, and we publish

childrens books that we love. Previously, I ran Macmillan Childrens Books in the UK

and then Scholastic UK Ltd, and collectively we have decades of childrens publishing

experience to guide us in this exciting endeavor. Most of us are parents too, and

that rsthand experience of sharing books with children informs everything we do.

When faced with a new project, we always ask ourselves: Who is this for?

Who is the ultimate reader? We are able to offer talented childrens authors and

illustrators both new and established a small-scale, intimate, and personal

approach to publishing their books, from helping them shape their ideas to telling

the world about their work on Twitter (where we tweet as @nosycrow).

After our recent launch, we immediately found ourselves faced with an importantdecision: Who should we partner with in the US? We are very pleased and proud to

have chosen, and been chosen by, Candlewick Press. From our rst meeting, things just

seemed to click. Were both independent. Were both committed to discovering and

encouraging exciting new talent. And although Candlewick is much bigger than Nosy

Crow, we felt that we were talking to people who really cared about every book that

they touched. We couldnt think of anyone better to share our books with and help

us bring them to you.

We love what we do. We hope you do too.

PS Oh, and because you may be asking,

why Nosy Crow?

We felt that, like us, the name is distinctive,

irreverent, and contemporary.

And also, crows areamong the worlds most intelligent animals,

found almost everywhere on Earth,

robust and strong,

persistent and smart,

quick to learn,

playful. . .

and noisy!

These books take great subjects for boys and combine them into short, bonkers, and funny

stories that are incredibly easy to read. The illustrations are bold and crazy, and theres

plenty of space left on each page together with suggestions for how to ll it so kids

can add their own drawings. The books read as hilarious, zippy stories that look a lot like

novels but are terric doodle books as well.
