We publish stories that reflect a wide range of experiences, cultures, and viewpoints.
Chalk & Wonder Press was founded in 2023 by Mary Ann Domanska, an author and educator passionate about creating meaningful children's literature. What began as a dream to publish her own stories soon expanded into a mission to bring more thoughtful, beautiful books into the world.
The name "Chalk & Wonder" reflects our commitment to education (chalk) and imagination (wonder) – the two elements we believe are essential for children's growth and development. Our logo, featuring a bird soaring above an open book, symbolizes how stories can help young minds take flight.
Today, we continue to grow our catalog with books that combine engaging narratives with stunning illustrations, creating reading experiences that children will treasure for years to come.
