Encouraging a lifelong love of reading

This renewal means that we can work together to create new titles and formats for Bing, ones which continue to delight children while supporting their sense of curiosity and encouraging a lifelong love of reading.”

Exiting plans

Juliet Matthews, Publisher, HarperCollins Children’s Books said “After a decade of partnership with Acamar, Bing remains a firm favourite for our team and so we are delighted to be publishing him for another four years.  Stories reflecting the world of a pre-schooler are at the heart of every book we create and we have exciting plans to expand our range of publishing with new and engaging formats that will continue to entertain fans of Bing everywhere.”

Upcoming releases in 2024

Upcoming Bing book releases in 2024 include the picture books ATCHOO!, Ice Cream Surprise, The Leaf Hunt, and Brush with Bing, a shaped board book that encourages young children to brush their teeth, as well as Let’s Colour!, a sticker colouring book developed for a key supermarket partner. 2024 will also see Acamar Films and HarperCollins Children’s Books work together on a series of titles to support children as they grow their emotional and social skills.
