Great news for Sandra Boynton: She gets her very own imprint!

But who is Sandra Boynton? And what’s an imprint?

Mrs. Boynton is a writer and cartoonist. She’s the woman who made going to bed way more fun for countless kids with board books such as Moo, Baa, La La La!, Snuggle Puppy!, Pajama Time!, and Barnyard Dance!

Now, on to the imprint. Companies that print and distribute books are called publishers. These companies have names. (Some famous ones are Penguin Random House, HarperCollins, and Simon & Schuster. Can you find a book in your house from one of these publishers? Check on the book’s title page.) These companies publish many types of books. Some are grouped together under imprints. The imprint is another name stamped on the book to show which group the book belongs to.

Mrs. Boynton’s publisher, Simon & Schuster, groups its children’s books under imprints such as Aladdin, Little Simon, and Beach Lane Books. And let’s not forget its newest imprint: Boynton Bookworks.

It’s not hard to spot Mrs. Boynton’s work. Fluffy, big-eyed animals seem to bounce along the pages to her clever, rhythmic words. And now it’s easier than ever to spy a Boynton. Just look for the Boynton Bookworks imprint.

“My own imprint! It’s not only astounding, it’s completely unexpected,” says Mrs. Boynton. “What an honor—and what a gift.”

Why? God made us with different vocations that work together. Writers and publishers need each other to share good words and beautiful books with the world.
