Dey Street Books plans to release the adult version of Wambach’s book. HarperCollins Children’s Books intends to publish a young reader’s edition.
According to the press release, Julia Cheiffetz, an executive editor at Dey Street Books, and Alyson Day, a senior editor at HarperCollins Children’s Books, negotiated this acquisition with Dan Levy, a vice president at Wasserman Media Group. Both of these books will come out in Fall 2016.
