About Rosen Publishing
Founded in 1950, Rosen Publishing has a long history of providing high-quality nonfiction books for children and young adults. Early on, Rosen recognized an urgent need for self-help material written specifically for teens. Rosen’s flagship book on venereal disease, the first of its kind for teens, met with acclaim and approval, and marked the beginning of a publishing program for the school and public library communities. Rosen Publishing gained a strong reputation for its sensitive treatment of difficult subjects; accurate, age-appropriate information; and reassuring tone.
