DK

DK is the publishing imprint of Dorling Kindersley, a British multinational publisher founded in 1974 and known for illustrated reference books for adults and children. DK is part of Penguin Random House and publishes books across a wide range of subjects, including science, history, travel, health, and children’s nonfiction.

Among the books published under the DK name are The Science of Reading, credited to DK with illustrations by Elen Winata and contributions from Kareem Weaver, Wiley Blevins, Melissa Loftus, Lori Sappington, and Chase Young; and The Illustrated Mahabharata, published by DK. DK’s books are typically produced by teams of editors, designers, writers, and illustrators rather than a single credited author.
