Sleeping Bear Press

Books for Little Readers With Big Interests

Sleeping Bear Press creates books that meet kids right where they are: cheering for a favorite team, getting ready for school, exploring their hometown or snuggling in for a bedtime story. This collection includes sturdy board books and engaging hardcover stories about sports, family, colors, kindergarten and the places that feel like home.

Minnesota and Midwest-themed titles make especially sweet additions to a local little one’s bookshelf, while football, soccer, hockey and baseball books let the smallest fans join in on game-day enthusiasm.

Find a Story That Feels Like Them

Choose a board book for babies and toddlers who love a quick read, bright illustrations and plenty of repeat pages. Sports-themed books make an easy pick for a future superfan or a family that takes game day seriously. Stories about school, new experiences and belonging can help children talk about the changes and feelings that come with a big new chapter.

For a thoughtful gift, start with a theme the child already loves. A Minnesota title is perfect for a new baby, visiting relatives or a family that cannot get enough of the North Star State.

Gift-Ready for Every Occasion

Sleeping Bear Press books make wonderful baby shower, birthday, back-to-school and just-because gifts. Add one to a cozy bedtime basket or pair it with a favorite plush for a present that encourages a little more reading together. Browse more family favorites in our books collection.
