Dream on Publishing was a dream ten years in the making. We are an independent multicultural book publisher established in 2013. Our goal is to promote literacy for children of color by producing high-quality children's literature that reflects their interests, their history and their lives. Through blog posts and other sharing of information, we seek to provide relevant information to parents, educators and caring community members who work work tirelessly to equip our children and support their learning. We believe that every child deserves to be a reader, to have the opportunity to learn about the world of which they are an important part, to read about characters that look like them, to celebrate their cultures, and to lift up their legacies.

To us, multicultural characters are not just the heroes of children of color. They are for all children because they reflect our diverse society and allow us all to see the world more realistically – through a colorful lens. And while we are dedicated to publishing and promoting books that represent children of color, our mission is to respect and free the voices and minds of all children and youth through the journey of reading and writing because literacy gives wings to dreams. And dreams are just the beginning.
