About Us
Since our first success with The Legend of Sleeping Bear (Official Children's Book of Michigan) in 1998, Sleeping Bear Press has impressed young readers, parents, teachers and booksellers with high-quality, beautifully illustrated picture books. As a small regional publisher based in Chelsea, Michigan, we're proud to say that readers throughout the country know us by name. Our authors and illustrators are visiting more schools and bookstores than ever before. Our books have inspired sterling reviews, won awards, have been featured in presentations and even found their way under the White House Christmas tree. No matter our size, our goal remains the same: Provide books that enrich children's lives through stories that blend entertaining text with educational content.
In addition to our popular alphabet series, Sleeping Bear Press offers regional stories and legends that young readers can embrace and call their own, such as The Legend of the Petoskey Stone, The Scarlet Stockings Spy and Win One for the Gipper: America's Football Hero.
We recognize the importance of producing books with positive messages and rich content that benefit not only the children who love them, but also the adults who read them aloud in schools, libraries and to their families each night at bedtime.
Thank you for your support.
