Children's Book Publisher: Albert Whitman & Company

This independent publisher is known for its Boxcar Children® Mysteries, its concept books that deal with feelings and family issues, and its multicultural books. This children’s book publisher specializes in picture books, novels, and nonfiction titles for children 2- to 12-years-old.
