LEE & LOW BOOKS

In 1991, Lee & Low Books began with a simple mission: to publish beautiful books about everyone, for everyone. Today, we are the largest and most trusted multicultural children’s book publisher in the United States and a leader in the movement for greater representation in publishing since its inception. Our family-run, independent, and certified 100% Minority Owned Business Enterprise (MBE) produces award-winning, high-quality books for every age under the imprints: Bebop Books, Children’s Book Press, Cinco Puntos Press, Lee & Low Books, Shen’s Books, and Tu Books. Our list includes leveled books for beginning readers, picture books, early chapter books, middle grade, and young adult books, and a wide selection of bilingual and Spanish language titles. Lee & Low is dedicated to promoting equity within the company and in the publishing industry at large. This commitment is reflected in the often-cited Diversity Baseline Survey, an ongoing study of demographics in the publishing industry, and in our writing contests for unpublished writers of color or Indigenous/Native writers: New Voices and New Visions.
