Joy Berry’s Children’s Book Collection Seeks New Owner After 85 Million Copies Worldwide

The collection of works by American children’s author Joy Berry is seeking a new owner, with Hilco Global offering its intellectual property rights for sale.

No buyer, asking price or timetable for a sale was identified in the announcement details provided. The scope of the rights included in the offering was also not specified.
