History
Tundra Books is the oldest children's book publisher in Canada. Tundra Books was founded in 1967 by May Cutler, a Montreal-based writer and editor. Cutler established the publishing company in the basement of her home, becoming the first woman to publish children's books in Canada. The U.S. division of the company, Tundra Books of Northern New York, was founded in 1971.
After 28 years, Tundra Books was sold to McClelland & Stewart. In 1996, Tundra Books' headquarters moved to Toronto from its former home in Westmount, Quebec, a suburb of Montreal, and a new publisher, Kathy Lowinger, took over. In the late 2000s, Tundra reissued many children's titles. On May 15, 2007, Tundra Books celebrated its 40th anniversary.
On June 24, 2009, Kathy Lowinger announced her retirement as Publisher of Tundra Books. No new Publisher was named, instead Kathryn Cole was promoted to Editorial Director and Alison Morgan was promoted to Managing Director. Company founder May Cutler died in March 2011.
