Wonder
Curiosity is not decoration. We leave room for discovery, imagination and the possibility that the world is more interesting than it first appears.
About Lantern & Kite
A home for ideas that are worth following.
Lantern & Kite is the parent company behind WonderInLife Apps, Wonder of Life Publishing and WILDigital.

It started with one idea. Then another joined it.
Lantern & Kite exists because not every worthwhile idea belongs in the same box. Some ideas want to become books. Some want to become software. Some want to become something a family prints at the kitchen table, a creator edits for a business, or a child turns into a world on the floor.
The parent company gives those ideas somewhere to grow without making them all look or behave alike. What connects them is not a single format. It is the standard behind them: thoughtful, useful, imaginative work made with actual people in mind.
We are not trying to fill shelves, screens or storefronts. We are trying to make things worth keeping.

What we hold onto
Different divisions can have different personalities. These are the things they are not allowed to lose.
Authenticity
We would rather sound human than polished-for-polish's-sake. The work should feel sincere, specific and recognizably ours.
Usefulness
A beautiful tool that is miserable to use is not finished. Function matters. Clarity matters. The person on the other side of the screen or page matters.
Connection
Stories, software and products all land in real lives. We build with families, children, creators and ordinary daily moments in mind.
Possibility
One idea can lead somewhere unexpected. We keep enough flexibility in the company for the next good idea to have somewhere to go.
Where ideas take flight.
Not because every idea should become something — but because the right ones deserve the chance.
That is what Lantern & Kite is here for.
