interested in: Magination Press publishes psychology-based books covering a broad range of topics of concern to children. These include everyday situations, such as starting school and the growing family, as well as more serious psychological, clinical, or medical problems, such as divorce, depression, anxiety, asthma, attention disorders, bullying, death, and more.

The purpose of each Magination Press book is to provide:
- age-appropriate information on the topic
- identification and understanding of the child's feelings
- practical ideas for coping with and/or resolving the problem and its attendant emotions

Magination Press books are distinguished by their psychological and emotional accuracy and complexity. We are as interested in the child's inner experience of the problem as its practical resolution. We want to see the evolution of the child's feelings, expressed in his or her thoughts. There should be no magical solutions but a realistic working-out of the problem and an emotional coming to terms with it. No parenting books.

The coping and resolution suggestions must also be comprehensive. They are not interested in proposals that offer a single, albeit charming or clever, solution.

They publish several types of books:
- Picture books for children up to age 8
- Illustrated readers for children ages 8 to 12
- Interactive books, usually for school-age children
- Nonfiction books for older children

interested in: Kane/Miller Book Publishers is a division of EDC Publishing, specializing in award-winning children's books from around the world. They are looking for non-fiction for ages 2-12 on those subjects which are particularly American: sports such as baseball, historical events, American biographies, American folk tales, etc.

A child reading a Kane Miller book will see parallels between his own life and what might be the unfamiliar setting and characters of the story. And that by seeing how a character who is somehow or in some way dissimilar - an “outsider”- finds a way to fit comfortably into a culture or community or situation while maintaining a healthy sense of self and self-dignity, she might be empowered to do the same.
