Last May, drseuss Enterprises and publishers from penguinrandomhouse visited the archives to hunt for new marketing material for the 70th anniversaries of #thecatinthehat and #howthegrinchstolechristmas. What they found was entirely unexpected. 

“Sing the 50 United States!”, nestled amid some 20,000 files, was a completed, unpublished manuscript. #drseuss had even designed what appeared to be a cover image. 

“This is kismet,” said Cat Reynolds, executive editor for Dr. Seuss Publishing and Beginner Books at Penguin Random House. “This is a coincidence of cosmic proportions that we were gifted this manuscript in this archive at this exact moment to really celebrate Ted Geisel and his contributions to children’s literature and the American canon as a whole.”

It isn’t the first posthumous Seuss release, but “Sing the 50 United States!” was special in its completeness.

"Sing" hit shelves June 2, just over a year after the manuscript was found, an unprecedented timeline.
