CJSP Publishing
Books with wonder, teeth, and a snack-aware dog.
CJSP Publishing makes books and illustrated stories for children, families, and adults who still believe imagination should have a backbone.
Our children’s books are warm, funny, and alive. They do not talk down to kids. They trust children to notice clues, ask questions, laugh at timing, and sit with a little mystery.
At the center of our publishing world are Prudence and Mr. Turtle: one dramatic dog, one thoughtful turtle, and a growing shelf of stories about friendship, courage, attention, and the strange business of being alive.

Books for Adults
CJSP Publishing also holds essays, conversations, reflections, and stranger records from the adult side of the house: faith, technology, creativity, solitude, signal, and the work of staying human while the wires hum.
The Gospel of Prudence
A CJSP book of reflections from the world of Prudence: dog walks, household grace, stubborn joy, creaturely wisdom, and the strange holiness of paying attention.
This is not a children’s book. It is Prue for grown-ups: funny, tender, observant, and rooted in the belief that ordinary life is always trying to tell us something.
