We are proud to introduce one of Lerner Publisher Services’ newest publishers—Scallywag Press! Scallywag Press is a UK-based publisher who creates picture books that reflect on our lives and provide valuable perspectives which could be useful to readers of any age. Scallywag love books where words and pictures both play their different parts to convey moments of drama, emotion, and humor. Using sturdy and sustainable materials, their books encourage emotion, empathy, and kindness.

Launched recently in 2019, the Scallywag list is made up of books by authors and artists from all over the world. Lerner Publisher Services launches Scallywag Press into the US market with three beautiful picture books in Fall 2023—and plenty more to come in the future!
