Hi,
If you’re reading this note, you’re probably a book person.
I’m a book person too, but I’m a kid person first.
As a publisher of books for young children, I am most fulfilled
by the glee of an eight-month-old when she finds a flap to lift,
the explosion of giggles from a two-year-old when an illustration
takes him by surprise, the pride of a four-year-old as she sings
out the rhyming last word of a couplet. These children’s joyful
first experiences with books will shape their lives as readers.
Instilling an early love of books is a great responsibility
for a publisher, and an exciting opportunity as well, as the
audience’s needs change so quickly. It is a time of “firsts,” of
sensory learning, a time when books are tasted and touched
and dragged everywhere. Babies and toddlers grow into new
books every month, creating frequent occasions to visit the
bookstore. However, since toddlers don’t make their own
purchases, books for this age group must appeal to adults as
well. Relatives, caregivers, and teachers must not only select the
books, but also share in and model the reading experience.
The Abrams Appleseed list has been created and curated
to foster the development of its young readers and engage
them and their adults in artful, beautifully conceived books.
Each book serves to expand on what the child already knows,
and transform his or her perception of the world. Let us
work together to delight children and grow readers.
Welcome to Appleseed.

These springtime board
books feature animal themes,
early-learning concepts, and
interactive pop-out puzzle
pieces to create an altogether
appealing package. Young
children will methodically
remove one puzzle piece from
each spread as parts of the bird
or bunny are introduced. By
the end, children have pieced
together the whole picture! With
decorative, textured art and a
seasonally tonal palette, this pair
of books is both sophisticated
and developmental.
