Founded in 1975 by Rick Wilks and Anne Millyard, Annick's reputation was built on original picture books by such popular authors as Robert Munsch, Hazel Hutchins, Kathy Stinson, Loris Lesynski, and Ruth Ohi.
Munsch’s The Paperbag Princess has sold millions of copies and continues to be a bestseller in 15 languages.
While continuing to publish picture books, Annick has added fiction and non-fiction for children and young adults to its list of outstanding, award-winning titles. Annick publications are dynamic and written to the highest literary standards. We encourage critical thinking and the development of a child’s inner resources so that, in addition to becoming confident, contributing members of their community, they are also engaged with society at large and their peers around the globe. Most of all, we are passionate about ensuring that our books be pleasurable, self-affirming,
informative, and entertaining.
