First published in 1913, Eleanor H. Porter's Pollyanna is a classic of children's literature that has charmed readers for over a century.While Pollyana may be recently-orphaned, sent to live in a new town, and left in the care of her emotionally distant aunt, her smile never wavers. Subscribing to her father's philosophy of unyielding optimism via "the Glad game," there seems to be no obstacle that she cannot overcome and no heart she cannot melt. Bringing light and love to her new caretaker, Aunt Polly Harrington, and the town of Beldingsville at large, Pollyanna's kindness and sincerity transforms the community from a dreary, downcast place to one beaming with appreciation and happiness. All seems to have changed for the better until Pollyanna becomes the victim of a serious accident that leaves her paralyzed and tests the limits of her faith in silver linings. On the verge of losing their ray of sunshine, the townsfolk must band together to save the spirit of the young girl who has inspired them all.Professionally typeset with a brand new cover, Pollyanna is a beloved children's novel reimagined for modern readers.

Stories From the Brownies Book is a new collection of tales celebrating African American children’s literature and the groundbreaking work of the N.A.A.C.P. Originally conceived by W.E.B. DuBois, Jessie Redmon Fauset, and Augustus Granville Dill, The Brownies Book was a one-of-a-kind literary magazine that was the first to cater specifically to Black children.With over two dozen works of fiction such as, “A Visit to Fairyland,” “How Br’er Possum Outwitted Br’er Rabbit,” and “Those Who Have No Turkey,” as well as selected biographies of legendary Black figures including Benjamin Banneker, Toussaint L’ouverture, and Alexandre Dumas; Stories From the Brownies Book offers some of the best children’s literature of the early twentieth century.“This was inevitable in our role as newspaper—but what effect must it have on our children? To educate them in human hatred is more disastrous to them than to the hated; to seek to raise them in ignorance of their racial identity and peculiar situation is inadvisable—impossible…there seems but one alternative: We shall publish hereafter not one Children's Number a year, but twelve! Messrs. DuBois and Dill will issue in November, in co-operation with the crisis, but as an entirely separate publication, a little magazine for children—for all children, but especially for ours, ‘the Children of the Sun.’ It will be called, naturally, The Brownies' Book, and as we have advertised, ‘It will be a thing of Joy and Beauty, dealing in Happiness, Laughter and Emulation, and designed especially for Kiddies from Six to Sixteen. It will seek to teach Universal Love and Brotherhood for all little folk—black and brown and yellow and white.’" Since our inception in 2020, Mint Editions has kept sustainability and innovation at the forefront of our mission.
