New York Times Best-Selling Peter H. Reynolds (The Dot, Ish, Someday, Judy Moody, The North Star)
Launches Licensing Group “The Peter H. Reynolds Line”

BOSTON, MA - New York Times #1 best-selling Author/Illustrator Peter H. Reynolds, beloved around the world for his inspirational “storybooks for children and busy grown ups,” has launched his new licensing division called The Peter H. Reynolds Line. The Peter H. Reynolds Line is led by Peter’s identical twin brother Paul Reynolds, who also helped launched the duo’s multi-million dollar educational media company FableVision based in Boston, with offices on the west coast and UK.

“People are literally moved to tears over Peter’s art and stories – the emotionality of his art and words inspire people to follow their dreams – giving them the courage to make their mark or encourage others who need help along the journey,” Paul Reynolds, president of The Peter H. Reynolds Line, observes. Reynolds adds, “Our hope is to build one of the premiere global art licensing brands in the industry – and create a partnership ecosystem that gives all involved powerful incentives to help us extend Peter’s reach and impact in the most creative ways.”

Debuting Peter H. Reynolds’ “Make Your Mark!” and “Time to Dream” lines, The Peter H. Reynolds Line will exhibit at the 2008 SURTEX show (booth 409) in New York City on May 18-20. The “Make Your Mark!” theme is based on Peter H. Reynolds’ best-selling book series The Dot and Ish (Candlewick Press), which have been published in over twenty languages around the world – including a 200,000 book purchase by the government of Mexico for every single classroom in the country. The “Time to Dream” line extends the messages highlighted in Peter’s storybook The North Star, which is set for a major international push with the publishing of book’s tenth anniversary edition by Candlewick Press and Walker Books.

SURTEX is the largest trade show in North America for the selling and licensing of art & design. SURTEX offers original art and design for sale and/or license to numerous industries: decorative fabrics, linens and domestics, contract textiles, wall coverings, floor coverings, apparel textiles, stationery, greeting cards, giftwrap and other paper products, tabletop, giftware, toys, ceramics, packaging and publishing, as well as tools for the design industry such as publications, trend services, industry organizations and more.
