FROM BEN'S DESK
• Cherry Lake Press blends literacy with core content, ensuring that students
learn science, history, and more — all while strengthening their reading skills.
Dear Friends,
• Torch Graphic Press delivers action packed graphic novels that engage
all readers, from the avid to the struggling and reluctant in core content
knowledge.
Uncertainty. It’s the word that seems to define our times. The world is changing
faster than ever — in our schools, our communities, and our homes. As parents,
grandparents, and educators, we all feel that quiet question in the back of our
minds: What kind of world will our children inherit?
What skills will they need to thrive three, five, or ten years from now? What jobs
will exist when artificial intelligence reshapes the way we live and work?
At Cherry Lake Publishing Group, we don’t pretend to know what the future
will look like. But we do know this: literacy is the great equalizer. When
children can read confidently and critically, every door opens. They have the
power to learn, to question, to dream — and to shape the world ahead of them.
That’s why literacy isn’t just our focus — it’s our calling. It’s why our entire team,
across every imprint, is dedicated to creating books that help educators teach
reading in ways that truly connect with kids.
• Cherry Blossom Press builds strong reading foundations with engaging
books that teach phonics and early literacy skills.
• 45th Parallel Press lifts up striving readers with high-interest, accessible
nonfiction. From extreme sports to real-world challenges, these titles inspire
students who may have fallen behind to rediscover confidence and curiosity.
• Sleeping Bear Press reminds us why we fell in love with books in the first
place. Beautifully illustrated picture books that make children laugh, wonder,
and dream.
Every page we publish is driven by a belief that literacy is not optional — it’s
essential to our shared future. Without it, opportunity fades. With it, our culture,
our communities, and our democracy thrive.
As a father — and someone eagerly awaiting the next generation (hurry up,
Megan and Julia!) — I feel this mission deeply. Every child deserves the chance
to grow into a thoughtful, capable reader. Every teacher deserves the tools to
make that happen.
Thank you for being on the front lines of that effort every day. We are proud to be
your partners in this work — and inspired by your commitment to shaping the
next generation of readers, thinkers, and dreamers.
Your passion. Our Products. Their future.
