Candied Plums is an independent publisher founded in 2016. We are dedicated to sharing inspiring and creative contemporary Chinese picture books with not only Mandarin learners but also picture book lovers.

With a deep commitment to the best quality, we select, translate and publish English picture books, as well as bilingual (Simplified Chinese-English) ones. This website not only showcases each title but also offers abundant Chinese learning resources.

We work closely with all major children’s book publishers in China. Our titles have gone through rigorous selection and editorial processes. They represent some of the best contemporary Chinese picture books.
