At The New York Times, we believe stories shape souls—and the earlier that journey begins, the brighter the future becomes. Our Children’s Book section is more than a showcase of enchanting tales and whimsical illustrations. It’s a launchpad for empathy, imagination, and empowerment. Every page turned by a child becomes a step toward understanding the world. Every story read becomes a seed of kindness, curiosity, and courage. We don’t just highlight books—we highlight possibilities. Whether you're a debut author, a seasoned illustrator, or a publisher seeking to inspire the next generation, our platform connects you with readers who dream big and feel deeply.
