Hachette Speakers Bureau is excited to welcome the

Hachette Speakers Bureau is excited to welcome the celebrated environmental activist, journalist, and author Richard Louv to our roster!

Richard coined the term “nature-deficit disorder” to describe the necessity of spending time in nature during childhood. In his new book, NOTICING: Intimate Encounters With the Natural World, he shares personal insights that help us go beyond simply spending time outdoors. He is the author of multiple bestselling books that explore the vital connections between the natural world, childhood development, and overall health.

Richard speaks at a wide range of venues, including zoos, conservation organizations, and universities. His talks educate and empower audiences to make nature a bigger part of their, and their children’s, lives. If you’d like to host him at your next event, reach out to us today!

📖 Alvina Ling, VP & Publisher of Little, Brown Boo

📖 Alvina Ling, VP & Publisher of Little, Brown Books for Young Readers, recently profiled 2026 Coretta Scott King Author Award Winner Jewell Parker Rhodes for The Horn Book.

From the stories her grandmother told her to the moment she realized Black women could be authors, Jewell’s journey as a storyteller has been shaped by the power of seeing yourself reflected in books. Over the course of her remarkable career, she has brought that same gift to young readers, tackling racism, colorism, environmental issues, gun violence, and complex family relationships with honesty, heart, and joy.

As Alvina writes, “You need only to read her stories. Jewell is a gem.” ❤️📚
