Children’s religion publisher B&H Kids has acquired 90 children’s titles from Standard Publishing, including works by such popular authors as Sally Lloyd Jones and Andy Holmes. The deal also covers series like My Goodnight Bible and The Young Reader’s Bible.

Standard Publishing specializes in adult bible study, providing curriculum and church programming. Shedding these allows Standard to focus on its core businesses, said CEO Peter Esposito. “We are glad to have found a home for these books where their ministry value can be continued.”

For B&H, the acquisition allows it to expand its offerings for preschoolers. B&H plans to begin releasing the acquired titles in 2015.

Selma Wilson, president of B&H Publishing Group, said, “Since we entered the kids' category in 2012, we have seen strong growth as we built both our product line and the B&H Kids editorial and marketing team. We are committed to serving the market, both here and around the world, by providing great kids’ resources that help parents connect with their children on biblical truth. This acquisition strengthens our mission.”
