Lantana

Because all children deserve to see themselves in the books they read

Thank you for visiting! We're Lantana: an award-winning social enterprise publishing books that reflect the lives and experiences of ALL children, not just a few.

Lantana sprung from the seed of an idea back in 2014. The seed was a question: where are all the books about children of colour? The question grew into a mission: books should reflect the lives of ALL children, not just a few. And the mission grew into a publishing house, where children of all races, ethnicities, genders, abilities and orientations get to love, cherish and identify with the books they read.

Today our all-female team is busy seeking out the most exciting under-represented voices from around the world and pairing them with jaw-droppingly beautiful artwork from illustrators old and new. We bundle our books into beautiful gift boxes that every child will delight to unwrap.

We're on a mission to make every child the hero of their own story. Because ALL children deserve to see themselves in the books they read.
