Paper Crown Publishing is a proudly independent children’s publisher based in Dallas, Texas. Our books are distributed in the United States by IngramSpark. We also publish e-book editions of select titles.

Founded in 2022, our reputation was built on a commitment to literature for youth that reflects the world of the contemporary child. We encourage critical thinking and the development of a child’s inner resources so that, in addition to becoming confident, contributing members of their community, they are also engaged with society at large and their peers around the globe. Most of all, we believe in the power of the joy of reading; we are passionate about ensuring that our books be self-affirming, informative, and fun.

Paper Crown Publishing publishes books for toddlers through to middle grade. We’re home to some classic picture book stories that have been enjoyed by generations of readers, including Krystal Gray’s Lilly & Lee and the Big Oak Tree. Our Middle Grade fiction and nonfiction covers diverse topics.
