In this poem, children find creative ways to embrace the world around them.
In my skin, I move. I spin like crinkly leaves on a windy day. I dance to my very own rhythm...
In my skin, I hope. I dust myself off so I can take it on tomorrow. I chase the rainbow that shines after the storm...
Told by many different children as they sing, rise, reach, move, learn, hope, laugh, rest, remember, and love, this gorgeous poem shows us that when you embrace the skin you're in, you open yourself up to a world of possibilities.
We love it because
LANTANA: "We believe that the importance of reading for pleasure cannot be overstated. A combination of academic research, empirical study and common sense shows that when children identify with books - their settings, themes or characters - they are more likely to enjoy reading them. At Lantana, we're proud to publish books in which a greater number of children can see themselves reflected, because our books feature characters from under-represented and marginalized groups who are rarely the main characters in stories. This way, we hope to ignite the spark that will grow into a lifelong love of reading."

In October 2018, Lantana was selected as one of ten entrepreneurial startups to join OXFO LEV8, an intensive mentorship scheme supported by the University of Oxford, designed to nurture high potential ventures. Lantana was the only publishing company to make it onto the program, besting around 230 other applicants after an extensive interview process, and one of only three businesses with female CEOs.
We are just proud that our primary printing partner in Hong Kong has won a series of sustainability awards. We print all of our books with non-petroleum based inks on Forest Stewardship Council certified paper to minimize our carbon footprint.
