Given those findings, I wanted to search out the specifically diverse publishers and imprints (divisions of publishing companies) focusing on children’s lives. All of these companies share a mission to print diverse books, prioritizing authentic portrayals of the varying experiences of racial and cultural identities as well as showing a myriad of genders, sexual orientations, and abilities. Below, I’ve compiled a list of diverse children’s publishers and imprints that you need to seek out. All in all, these 13 diverse children’s book publishers and imprints are creating very exciting work. Explore their catalogues, get to know their featured authors, and you will find yourselves reading your way through an abundance of first-rate stories. For even more, Charnaie Gordon’s Here Wee Read has curated an even longer list that is well worth going through. So, happy exploring! I know you will find some great stuff out there.
