Poppy Lane Publishing Company
Established in 1976

Poppy Lane Publishing Company has been publishing books by local authors in the San Joaquin Valley since 1976.  The Valley is rich with new talent and Poppy Lane Publishing Company wants to give as many authors as possible the opportunity to be published and recognized.

Our first publication in 1976 was BEGINNING READING AT HOME (for children 3-6 years of age).  Recently it had its eighth printing and now the second generation is using the phonic program to start young children on their way to the exciting world of reading.

One of our new authors, Dorina Lazo Gilmore, has just completed her new book, A STONE IN THE SOUP: A Hmong Girl's Journey to the United States.  This book tells the story of a Hmong family's dangerous and difficult journey from Laos to the United States.

Please take a look at the publications and their reviews.  You will be delighted with the talent in our San Joaquin Valley.
