The new books will include original stories inspired by unpublished illustrations from Dr. Seuss selected from the author’s archives at UCSD.
“The original Dr. Seuss sketch that serves as the inspiration for each of the new Seuss Studios books will be included in the book, along with a note from the creators explaining how they were inspired, and their process,” the San Diego-based company said.
The goal is to continue Geisel’s legacy, started in 1957 with the launch of the Beginner Books imprint at Random House, of inspiring young readers and supporting writers and artists starting their publishing careers, the company said. “We believe that literacy is for everyone," she said. “And as you try to find solutions that really are thoughtful and are heartfelt, they really do embrace everyone and allow everybody to be celebrated. And I think that what they’re doing right now is is a step in the right direction.”
The first of the new books is expected to hit shelves next year, and the goal is to publish at least two new books per year.
