红蜻蜓简介
红蜻蜓出版社创立于1999年10月5日。当时，马来西亚作家许友彬发现市面上所售卖的儿童故事书并不适合马来西亚华人儿童的华文程度，于是毅然决定成立红蜻蜓，亲自编写适合本地儿童阅读的华文故事书。红蜻蜓把“教育孩子，推广阅读风气”视为己任，取名“红蜻蜓”，寓意出版社像红蜻蜓一样，飞得快、看得远。
红蜻蜓的首批产品“华小阅读计划”系列丛书获得热烈的回响；紧接着的“学前阅读计划”系列丛书更是佳评如潮，从此奠定了红蜻蜓在马来西亚儿童华文阅读领域的地位。2004年，红蜻蜓获选为马来西亚国家教育部编写各类小学与国民型中学课本，立下另一里程碑。凭着出版课本的经验，2006年，红蜻蜓做了一个在本地史无前例的尝试——－出版每部作品约8万至12万字的“少年长篇小说”，成功带动了本土原创少儿小说的流行。红蜻蜓作品每出版便荣登《亚洲周刊》马来西亚畅销书籍排行榜，至今累积总上榜周数达691周，其中260周位居榜首。自2010年起，红蜻蜓陆续将90部小说授权予青岛出版社、浙江少年儿童出版社和辽宁少年儿童出版社，在中国出版简体中文版作品。
经过多年胼手胝足的努力，红蜻蜓依0岁至18岁的孩子不同的阅读程度，出版了近500种不同类型的作品，包括“主题故事”、“学前阅读计划”丛书、政府中小学课本、“华小阅读计划”丛书、“红蜻蜓少年长篇小说”系列、“绘图小说”系列、“小大人”系列、“有画想说”系列、“黑蚂蚁”系列、“恋习”系列、“小博士”系列、“小不点时光”系列、电影馆、图鉴等等。20年来，红蜻蜓除了出版优质读物，也致力于推广阅读风气，举办多项活动，如：中文师资培训课程、巡回讲座、阅读生活营、书展、爱心送书、红蜻蜓少年小说奖等。因为秉持着品质为重的精神，红蜻蜓从初创期的默默无闻，蜕变成马来西亚广受欢迎的出版社。
