The Morning Glories Announces Innovative Personalized Children's Books That Bring Family Stories to Life
The Morning Glories, founded by award-winning publisher Nicole Mangum, revolutionizes personalized children's books by creating fully customized stories. Unlike generic name-insertion books, The Morning Glories features unique narratives and illustrations that reflect each child's likeness, family, and experiences, making every story truly one-of-a-kind. West Point, MS, February 12, 2025 -- A Personalized Approach to Storytelling The Morning Glories was inspired by founder Nicole Mangum's own family experience. Her book, A Cake for Mommy, tells the heartwarming story of her children's adventure baking a cake for her birthday. This personal project led to a broader vision—helping other families turn their cherished moments into beautifully illustrated keepsake books. 'Our goal is to celebrate every child's individuality by creating books that reflect their real-life adventures,' said Nicole Mangum, founder of The Morning Glories and owner of Liberation's Publishing House. 'These stories capture family bonds, cultural traditions, and special memories in a way that traditional books cannot.' Empowering Families Through Publishing The Morning Glories operates as an imprint of Liberation's Publishing House, a Black-owned, family-run company with over a decade of experience supporting authors. With a mission to make publishing more inclusive and accessible, Liberation's Publishing House has helped over 200 authors bring their stories to life. By offering parents the opportunity to create and sell their own personalized books, The Morning Glories also encourages entrepreneurship. Families can turn their storytelling into a business, making book publishing a rewarding and creative experience. What Makes The Morning Glories Stand OutThe Morning Glories is setting a new standard for personalized children's books with its unique approach: Custom-Written Stories – Every book is created from scratch, ensuring an original narrative tailored to the child's personality, interests, and experiences. Hand-Illustrated Characters – Unlike generic template-based books, each illustration is designed to closely resemble the child and their loved ones. Family and Cultural Representation – The stories reflect diverse family dynamics, traditions, and milestones, making them meaningful and relatable. Entrepreneurial Opportunity – Parents and children can turn their books into a small business, creating a new avenue for families to explore publishing. Recognition and Industry Impact Nicole Mangum's work in publishing has earned her the prestigious Mississippi Trailblazer 2024 Inspire Award, recognizing her leadership and contributions to the literary world. She continues to expand the reach of The Morning Glories, with aspirations to earn additional industry accolades such as the Mom's Choice Awards and Publishing Innovation Awards. A Growing Collection of Personalized Books The Morning Glories is already making an impact with its first book, A Cake for Mommy, now available on major platforms including Amazon and Barnes & Noble. As the company expands, families can expect more customizable titles that bring their unique stories to life. The Morning Glories invites parents to explore the magic of personalized storytelling and turn their child's imagination into a treasured keepsake.
