I was thrilled to meet the team at Nosy Crow. They just set up their U.S. operations in Lincoln, Massachusetts, near me! They held a lovely open house:
I have been reading and reviewing Nosy Crow books for some time. Jannie Ho, who I met at a Newton Community Education class on writing picture books is an illustrator and author for Nosy Crow.
Kate Wilson, head of Nosy Crow, had been thinking about spreading the company’s wings and establishing a Nosy Crow branch in North America. With extensive publishing experience, a love of children’s books, and a familiarity with Nosy Crow titles due to time at Candlewick, John Mendelson took on the challenge of helping Nosy Crow Inc. land—independently—in North America. Nosy Crow in the UK and Candlewick Press still work together, just in a different capacity. To avoid confusion, future Nosy Crow titles that land with Candlewick will have Candlewick branding, and Nosy Crow Inc. titles will carry the crow branding.
I’m excited that Nosy Crow is near me. I’ll be reviewing their books soon here. What are your favorite Nosy Crow books? thanks for sharing!
