This Mental Health Awareness Month, we’re highlighting the award-winning work of Dr. Arline T. Geronimus, author of WEATHERING: The Extraordinary Stress of Ordinary Life in an Unjust Society.   Dr. Geronimus coined the term “weathering” to describe the lasting physical and mental toll of systemic injustice on marginalized communities. Her decades of groundbreaking research have reshaped how we understand the connection between inequality and health—and why true strides for mental health must encompass social justice.   Contact us to learn more about hosting Dr. Geronimus at your next event.

Honoring Heritage While Looking Ahead Little, Brown and Company is introducing a new colophon for its flagship imprint and divisional branding beginning this August, marking an exciting new chapter for one of publishing’s most storied and enduring literary brands. The refreshed design reflects the evolution of Little, Brown’s publishing program under the leadership of President and Publisher Sally Kim, as the division continues to expand into new categories, reach new audiences, and publish timely, impactful books across genres. Originally redesigned in 2009, the updated colophon was created by Little, Brown art director June Park and designer Chris Allen under the direction of executive art director Gregg Kulick. The new look honors the imprint’s nearly 189-year legacy while embracing a modern, streamlined visual identity for the future. As Sally Kim shared, the refreshed colophon reflects “the timely and robust books of quality and merit that define what a Little, Brown book means now, and in the many years to come.” We’re excited to see this next era of Little, Brown and Company come to life.
