Help Me Build a Publishing House Where Meaningful Stories Shine
A NEW CHAPTER BEGINS • OCTOBER 2026
What began with one mom creating the books she wanted to place in her son’s hands has grown into a vision for something much bigger: a publishing home creating beautiful, faith-centered books, championing independent voices, and equipping families and educators with meaningful resources.
Now, I’m inviting you to help lay the foundation.
Become part of the Founding Families of Lamb & Lantern Press and be the first to receive campaign previews, reward announcements, and launch-day updates.
This Is More Than a Book Campaign
WHAT YOU’RE HELPING BUILD
Lamb & Lantern Press began with the books I wanted to place in my own son’s hands—but the vision has grown far beyond the stories I write.
I’m building a publishing home where meaningful ideas can become beautiful books, independent authors and creatives can receive the support they need, and families and educators can discover resources that encourage children to explore, learn, wonder, and grow in faith.
Your support won’t simply help publish one title. It will help build the foundation for all that comes next.
Create
Create beautiful, faith-centered books that nurture curiosity, strengthen families, and help children discover God’s truth and creation.
Champion
Champion independent authors, illustrators, and creatives by helping meaningful stories move from heartfelt ideas to professionally published books.
Equip
Equip parents, teachers, librarians, churches, and homeschool families with educational resources that extend learning beyond the final page.
We’re not just publishing books. We’re building a home for stories that matter.
This Dream Didn’t Begin With Kickstarter
THE STORY SO FAR
Lamb & Lantern Press may be entering a new chapter, but the work has already begun.
What started with creating books for Logan has grown into writing and publishing meaningful children’s books, developing educational resources for families and teachers, helping other authors bring their stories to life, and building communities that connect independent books with the readers searching for them.
The Founding Families campaign isn’t being built on an untested idea. It’s helping strengthen the foundation beneath work that is already growing.
Stories Created
Books designed to help children explore, learn, wonder, and grow in faith.
Authors Supported
Independent authors and creatives guided through the complicated journey from manuscript to publication.
Families Equipped
Teacher guides, activity packs, printables, and educational resources that extend learning beyond the book.
Readers Connected
Communities like Kids Book Hub and Little Lantern Reviews helping meaningful independent books find their audience.
We’re not starting from scratch. We’re building from experience, momentum, and a deeply rooted mission.
BUILDING WHAT COMES NEXT
What Your Support Will Make Possible
The Founding Families campaign will provide the foundation Lamb & Lantern Press needs to grow with purpose—not simply by producing more books, but by creating better books, supporting more meaningful voices, and placing valuable resources into the hands of the families who need them.

A NOTE FROM JEANETTE
This Started With One Little Boy—and a Mom Paying Attention
When Logan was two, I began creating the kinds of books I wanted to place in his hands—books that encouraged curiosity, made learning joyful, and helped him see the wonder woven throughout God’s creation.
I didn’t set out to build a publishing house. I was simply a mom paying attention to what my son needed and doing everything I could to create it.
But one book became another. The resources grew. Other authors began trusting me with their stories. Kids Book Hub and Little Lantern Reviews connected me with families, educators, and independent creatives around the world. Somewhere along the way, this became bigger than the books I was writing.
Lamb & Lantern Press became a place where meaningful ideas could be nurtured, where independent voices could receive support, and where families could find books created with purpose.
I’ve seen what passion, persistence, and a lot of late nights can build. Now I’m inviting you to help me build the next chapter on a stronger foundation—one that can continue serving families and bringing meaningful stories into the world for years to come.
With gratitude,
Jeanette Lerio
