GROUNDWOOD BOOKS
, established in 1978, is
dedicated to the production of children's books for all ages, including fiction,
picture books and non-fiction. We publish in Canada, the United States and Latin
America. Our books aim to be of the highest possible quality in both language
and illustration. Our primary focus has been on works by Canadians, though we
sometimes also buy outstanding books from other countries.

Many of our books tell the stories of people whose
voices are not always heard in this age of global publishing by media
conglomerates. Books by the First Peoples of this hemisphere have always been a
special interest, as have those of others who through circumstance have been
marginalized and whose contribution to our society is not always visible. Since
1998 we have been publishing works by people of Latin American origin living in
the Americas both in English and in Spanish under our Libros Tigrillo
imprint.

We believe that by reflecting intensely individual
experiences, our books are of universal interest. The fact that our authors are
published around the world attests to this and to their quality. Even more
important, our books are read and loved by children all over the globe.
