Who we are
At Lamb & Lantern Press, we believe that stories are more than just words on a page—they’re seeds planted in the hearts of children.
Founded on our family homestead and inspired by the gentle rhythm of rural life, Lamb & Lantern Press creates faith-filled, educational books that nurture curiosity, character, and connection. We blend biblical truth, wholesome learning, and the wonder of nature to craft stories that grow with your children—books to cherish at bedtime, in the classroom, or cuddled up on the couch.
Our name reflects our mission:
The Lamb represents the innocence of childhood and the Good Shepherd who lovingly leads us.
The Lantern symbolizes the light of God’s Word, guiding each step with wisdom and warmth.
We’re a small, family-run imprint with a big heart for helping children know God, love learning, and delight in creation. Whether it’s an alphabet of animals, a journey through the Psalms, or a field guide to farm life, every book is crafted with care, purpose, and a whole lot of prayer.
We’re honored to be part of your family’s bookshelf—and your child’s heart journey.
