A year after Dr. Seuss Enterprises stopped publishing six books for racist and insensitive imagery, the company is announcing plans to have diverse authors and artists tell new stories inspired by previously unpublished Dr. Seuss sketches.
The new authors and illustrators will represent a diverse cross-section of racial backgrounds to represent as many families as possible, Dr. Seuss Enterprises said. Company officials were not available to comment, a spokesperson said.
The books, under the banner Seuss Studios and published by Random House Children’s Books, will be geared toward readers ages 4 to 8. The images include a catlike creature with enormous ears and a series of colorful hummingbirds with pointy noses. Dr. Seuss Enterprises has not yet disclosed the writers and illustrators who will work on the new books because contracts are still being ironed out.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.
