Hi! I’m Sarah Mackenzie, the publisher of Waxwing Books and the host of the Read-Aloud Revival podcast. 

Over the last decade I’ve searched for the very best books to read with my own six kids and to recommend at Read-Aloud Revival. 

Books with illustrations that invite you to look longer than you need to, that are delicious to read aloud, and that leave the reader with a sense of hope. Families rely on Read-Aloud Revival to help them find those kinds of books, so not only do we recommend them through our resources at Read-Aloud Revival, we also started making them.

Waxwing Books is built on a simple conviction I learned from my friendship with Tomie dePaola, the creator of Strega Nona: only the best books are good enough for children.
