News, upcoming books and more!

Thank you to all the nice people at American Profile magazine, especially to Marti Attoun for taking an interest in Purple House and writing this article on January 11th about what we do! The response has been amazing :-)

If you want to follow which books we're releasing next and want to be notified about them, please subscribe to this blog. You won't be overwhelmed with messages since I plan to update it once a month or so, with our latest news.

Here's what's in store for 2009 and in to 2010. We were so fortunate to acquire the rights a wonderful series of books by Mark Taylor and illustrated by Graham Booth! An imaginative young boy named Henry explores the mountains, jungles and seas near his home, accompanied by his faithful terrier Laird Angus McAngus. First published during the 1960s-1970s, we will be reissuing two books in 2009 and two books in 2010.

Henry the Explorer and Henry the Castaway, fall 2009
Henry Explores the Jungle and Henry Explores the Mountains, spring 2010

In addition to this we're also proud to be doing another Jolly Roger Bradfield book, Giants Come in Different Sizes. If you're a fan of Pickle-Chiffon Pie or The Flying Hockey Stick, you'll enjoy this book too.

Currently, I'm finishing up on Ethel & Leonard Kessler's book Stan the Hot Dog Man and the next title I'll be working on is Trish Marx's picture book Hanna's Cold Winter.

Happy reading!

Well, I for one, would like to thank you. Anyone who can make the good old books, available --- at a reasonable rate --- is a friend in my book!
