Eerdmans Books for Young Readers is an imprint of Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing Company, an independent, family-owned publisher in business since 1911. Offering board books, picture books, middle readers, novels, nonfiction, and religious titles for children and young adults, we at EBYR seek to engage young minds with books — books that are honest, wise, and hopeful; books that delight us with their storyline, characters, or good humor; books that inform, inspire, and entertain.
