Dear Friends, The Childrens Book Press (CBP) imprint, while still new to LEE & LOW, is a collection of books that started the multicultural childrens book movement. Founded by Harriet Roemer in 1975, CBP was groundbreaking in its vision to publish books by and about people of color. CBP was also a valuable resource for bilingual books for young readers. We know many of you have been waiting for a long, long time to see these titles in print again. Last year, 2012, was a rebuilding year in which we brought back CBPs top twenty-five bestselling titles. We have reprinted ten more titles for 2013. You can see all CBP titles currently in stock on our website by going through the Advanced Search option and selecting the CBP books only button: http://www.leeandlow.com/search. Throughout 2013 we will be reintroducing the CBP authors and illustrators and reposting CBP interviews and activities to our website and blog. Stay in touch with us through our monthly e-News for updates on the CBP imprint as it grows. We are thrilled to let the world know that

Childrens Book Press is back!

We hope we can count on our loyal supporters to help spread this outstanding news. Peace, Tom Low, Jason Low, Craig Low, and the rest of the LEE & LOW staff
