Welcome to Pen&inc.’s listing section, a guide to hundreds of books from large and small publishers. This guide has been created to make it as easy as possible to find books that reflect different perspectives, helping you to make choices that are tuned to your readers, your communities.
We all want to build a nation of readers – children who see themselves in stories, children who build empathy and understanding through the eyes of others. The books featured in these listings seek to do that – with characters, stories, illustrations and creators representing the best of diversity and inclusion in children’s publishing.
The next Pen&inc. will be published in September 2020. For more details on advertising and listing with us email:
