Candlewick: for the discriminating reader

Image: www.candlewick.com

(Nov 13, 2007) It can be hard to find quality children's books dealing with the environment. Fortunately there's some excellent publishing providing us with alternatives.

Based in Cambridge, Massachusetts, Candlewick Press publishes outstanding children’s books for readers of all ages and have been named "the fastest growing children’s publisher in the U.S." by Publishers Weekly.

We asked one of our in-house experts for her opinion. Montana Speed, a grade 6 student, an avid reader and budding environmentalist reviewed some of her favourites for us.
