Hyperion Books for Children published its first book in August 1991: See Squares, a paperback counting book by Joy N. Hulme, illustrated by Carol Schwartz. Since then, Hyperion Books for Children and its imprints have published books by Julie Andrews, Rosemary Wells, Louise Erdrich, William Nicholson, Michael Dorris, Jules Feiffer, Toni Morrison, Jon Agee, Paul Zindel, and William Wegman, among others. Coming seasons will include books by children’s literary luminaries such as Maurice Sendak, Norton Juster, Margaret Wise Brown, and Charlotte Zolotow.
Hyperion Books for Children’s imprints include:
Jump at the Sun -- the first children’s book imprint to celebrate black culture for all children
Volo -- paperback original series
Michael di Capua Books -- from the esteemed publisher of the same name
In its 10th anniversary year of publishing, Hyperion Books for Children stole some of the top literary honors from the American Library Association awards for children’s books, and in 2003 the novel Crispin by Avi was awarded the Newbery Medal, the top award for children’s fiction in the country.
A unique collaboration between Miramax Books and Hyperion Books for Children has also proven extremely successful. The partnership began with the publication of Artemis Fowl by Eoin Colfer in May 2001. An aggressive and innovative launch campaign quickly shot this book, by an unknown author, onto the bestseller lists and sales of the series, now three books, have exceeded 4 million copies in the U.S. We continued the relationship with Miramax Books with the publication of Summerland, the first novel by Pulitzer prize-winning novelist Michael Chabon, and are launching a new fantasy trilogy called the Bartimeus Trilogy this fall by British author Jonathan Stroud.
We hope you find our website a place to discover a truly lively and dynamic list of books for children . . . a place to find a book for every child.
