Bearing Books is a new children's nonfiction imprint dedicated to creating books that
improve the lives of students from elementary through high school. Our focus is on
character education, strengthening life skills, and helping kids navigate their way to
adulthood. We hope to empower our young readers with the knowledge, encouragement,
and self-awareness that is so critical to success and happiness later in life.

Our publishing association with Josephson Institute and CHARACTER COUNTS! provides
us with an exceptional and unique platform from which to create our books. The
educational expertise, perspective, and experience that the JI staff offers us is invaluable
in our publishing process.
