About Rosen Publishing:

Founded in 1950, Rosen Publishing has a long history of providing high-quality nonfiction books for children and young adults. Recognizing an urgent need for self-help material written specifically for young adults, Rosen released its flagship book on venereal disease in the mid-1950’s, the first of its kind for teens. Rosen Publishing continues to enjoy a strong reputation for its sensitive treatment of difficult subjects; accurate, age-appropriate information; and reassuring tone. Rosen Publishing Online, the newest division of Rosen Publishing, continues the legacy of publishing trusted and award-winning content with database and digital offerings.
