Cooper Legacy Books is a family-owned publishing company that creates wholesome, family-friendly comic books designed to entertain, inspire, and teach strong moral values. Founded by Shemeca Cooper and supported by her children, the company produces engaging stories that reflect character, faith, and positive life lessons.
History
Cooper Legacy Books was founded by Shemeca Cooper in 2024 after growing concerns about the lack of moral-driven content in children’s literature. Disturbed by negative and conflicting messages in popular books her children enjoyed, Shemeca decided to fill the gap by creating a publishing company that would provide entertaining, value-centered alternatives. Her children, Nathaniel and Zoe, enthusiastically joined the effort, co-authoring the company’s debut books: Zoe, Chloe and the Their Guardian Angel, and Alex the Great. Together, they crafted relatable, funny, and uplifting stories, blending real-life school experiences with humor, faith, and personal growth.
