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Survey, an ongoing study of demographics in the publishing industry, and in our writing contests for unpublished writers of color or Indigenous/Native writers: New Voices Award and New Visions Award.
