Meet Apples & Honey Press!
Created in 2015 as an imprint of Behrman House, Apples & Honey Press helps children explore their world through the lenses of universal ethical themes and diverse perspectives. In formats that include picture books, chapter books, middle grade novels, and graphic novels, we center Jewish characters, culture and practice in stories that encourage children’s social and emotional growth as they navigate the world around them
We publish well-known authors and discover new ones. Our list includes books by Eric Kimmel, Jane Yolen, Johanna Hurwitz, Barbara Diamond Goldman, David Adler, Leslie Kimmelman, Tammar Stein, Emma Berne, and Stephen Krensky, to list just a few. We work with both agented and un-agented authors, and we are currently accepting manuscripts that depict contemporary, diverse Jewish life and strong personal values.
