We Were There, Too! Young People in U.S. History By Phillip Hoose Farrar, Straus & Giroux Books for Young Readers

Farrar, Straus and Giroux was founded in 1946 by Roger W. Straus. The firm is renowned for its international list of literary fiction, nonfiction, poetry and children’s books.

Farrar Straus Giroux Books for Young Readers publishes books for toddlers through young adults and offers softcovers under the Sunburst Paperback imprint and Spanish language editions of selected titles under the Mirasol/libros juveniles imprint. The company has an award-winning backlist that continues to expand, in part due to the recent additions of Frances Foster Books and Melanie Kroupa Books. A number of the talents with whom the company has worked, including Natalie Babbitt (Tuck Everlasting), Madeleine L'Engle (A Wrinkle in Time), Uri Shulevitz (The Fool of the World and the Flying Ship), and William Steig (Doctor De Soto), have become recognized as creators of classic children's books. A new generation includes Jack Gantos (Joey Pigza Loses Control), Louis Sachar (Holes), Peter Sís (Starry Messenger), and husband-and-wife collaborators David Small and Sarah Stewart (The Gardener).
