Lerner Publishing Group acquires Soaring Kite Books

Dec 17 2024

Lerner Publishing Group announced on Monday that the Minneapolis children’s publisher is acquiring Soaring Kite Books; the acquisition will be effective as of January 1. Soaring Kite was founded in Washington, D.C., by marketing executive Ceece Kelley in 2020, with a mission to “give a voice and a presence to underrepresented main characters in children’s books” and a focus on emerging voices that explore a range of cultural experiences. Soaring Kite will become LPG’s 18th imprint, with Kelley acting in a consulting role after the transition.
