Transit Children’s Editions is a new imprint from Transit Books, highlighting bold, imaginative, visually distinctive children’s books from around the world.

With Transit Children’s Editions, we hope to inspire a younger generation to read beyond our borders, to bring joy and wonder, to challenge and excite, with a list that features a diversity of languages, perspectives, and literary approaches of the highest artistic quality.

Transit Books is a nonprofit publisher of international and American literature, committed to the discovery and promotion of enduring works that carry readers across borders and communities. Founded in the San Francisco Bay Area in 2015, we publish a carefully curated list of award-winning literary fiction, narrative nonfiction, essay, and literature for children.

Transit authors have received or been finalists for the National Book Award, the National Book Critics Circle Award, the International Booker Prize, the PEN Translation Prize, the National Translation Award, the Windham-Campbell Prize, and more.
