“Read it again, please!”
Whether you’re a new or established author, those are the words you most want to hear. After all, you wrote your book to delight children. You want to make them giggle. You want to touch their hearts. You hope that your book will become a well-loved classic. It starts, of course, with writing a compelling story that appeals to children and hopefully, adults too.
Don’t underestimate the importance of quality printing.
From vivid colors to durable construction to just-right sizing, taking your story from a fabulous idea to a children’s book is hard and strategic work. That’s why you need top quality children’s book printing services.

What Authors Are Saying About Us
When Susan and I discovered the environmentally conscious MCRL we were over-the-moon thrilled. Planet friendly? Check. Then we talked with the MCRL team. Patient and kind? Check. (When you’re new to book publishing, like us, that’s key.) Phenomenal quality? Check.
Our illustrated books knocked the socks off a storied independent bookseller based in New York City and Philadelphia which called them “simply top tier.”
In fact, they liked our books so much they did an entire window display. I cannot sing the praises of MCRL loudly enough! SEE WHY…
“We have worked with MCRL since 2007 and will continue to do so. Their quality has always been exceptional. We supply large retailers like Target, Amazon, ToysRUs and more and they have always delivered on a timely basis.”
