Swift Water Books

Swift Water Books is an Indigenous-led imprint within Tundra Book Group, the children's division of Penguin Random House Canada. Swift Water is envisioned and overseen by Nêhiyaw (Cree) author David A. Robertson and is focused on celebrating Story and providing a platform for Indigenous writers and illustrators to share their truths. Swift Water publishes literature that educates, entertains, has a long-term vision of social change and finds a balance between complex histories and the beauty of Indigenous cultures across Turtle Island. We are exclusively a youth-oriented imprint with accurate and authentic representation, and we publish into a broad range of categories, including picture books, chapter books, graphic novels and middle-grade and young-adult novels.
