Spotlight on a Sponsor: Lee and Low Books

January 20, 2017 by Valarie Budayr

Lee & Low Books has been a supporter of MCBD since Day One.

 

And we REALLY appreciate them for that!

LEE & LOW BOOKS has been on the forefront of this push for children’s books to reflect the diversity in the world around us. Their published works reflect the bias in non-fiction and puts forth options of heroes of color for children of all colors!

Lee and Low Books

Lee & Low Books is the largest multicultural children’s book publisher in the United States. Their award-winning books are about everyone, for everyone.
LEE & LOW BOOKS is the largest multicultural children’s book publisher in the country, and one of the few minority-owned publishing companies in the United States. They offer books for all young readers, from leveled books for beginning readers through middle grade and young adult novels. They also publish several bilingual books, as well as books in other languages. Our books reflect the diversity and richness of the United States. LEE & LOW BOOKS is more than just a publisher: it is a leader in the movement for more diversity in literature.
