CILIP, the library and information association’s bi-annual guide to current diverse and inclusive books for children and young people.

The first issue of Pen&inc. came out in April 2019 and was launched by TV Presenter and author Konnie Huq.

“It’s so important in the books that we read to have diversity and inclusivity and equality… Hurray for Pen&inc.”

We publish twice a year in April and September and each issue carries the titles of the most recently published titles focussed on inclusivity and diversity.

The magazine and listings guide has quickly secured its place as invaluable tool in helping bookshops, libraries and schools stock the latest and best in inclusive children’s books.

“We are so excited for the launch of @PenandIncBooks, a great initiative from our #LibrariesTaskforce partner @CILIPinfo producing a new magazine and listings guide to celebrate diversity and inclusion in Children's Publishing.”

“@penandincbooks is essential reading for anyone with an interest in diversity, inclusion and children’s literature. Read it now.”

“Having Pen&inc. is a huge help, as I’m finding titles that we didn’t know existed, and would definitely like to stock. It’s a fantastic resource and a great read – and I really appreciate the obvious time and care that’s gone into compiling it.”
