You have the audience. We'll build the book.
Cedar & Stone partners with authors and creators to produce extraordinary children's books. Backed by research, crafted by world-class creatives, and launched to your audience with precision.
Start a ConversationThis isn't a sponsorship.
It's your book.
Most creators with large audiences have thought about making a children's book. The idea is there. The audience is there. What's missing is the team, the expertise, and the infrastructure to make it real.
That's what Cedar & Stone provides. We bring child development expertise, world-class illustrators, experienced writers, and a full production and launch pipeline. So you can focus on being the author, not the publisher.
Your name goes on the cover. Your story gets told. Your audience gets something they'll genuinely treasure. We handle everything else.
"I've been wanting to make a children's book for years. I just never knew where to start."
We hear this from almost every author we work with. You don't need to know how to write a picture book, find an illustrator, manage a print run, or build a launch funnel. You just need the idea and the audience. We'll take care of the rest.
From idea to printed book
We've refined this process across dozens of books. Every step is designed to make it easy for you and exceptional for your audience.
Discovery
We start with a conversation about your vision, your audience, and the kind of book that feels authentically you. No templates. Every project starts from scratch.
Story Development
Our writers work with you to shape the narrative, building a story that captivates kids, resonates with parents, and carries your voice throughout. Child development advisors weigh in on pacing, themes, and age-appropriate engagement.
Illustration & Design
We match you with an illustrator whose style fits your vision. You'll see sketches, give feedback, and watch the art come to life — until every page is something you're proud to put your name on.
Production
We handle printing, materials, binding, and quality control. Premium production at scale. The kind of book that feels good in your hands and survives hundreds of bedtimes.
Launch
This is where your audience meets the book. We build the entire launch strategy: pre-orders, bundles, email campaigns, landing pages, fulfillment — all coordinated around your content calendar to maximize impact.
