Which Children’s Book Publishing Companies Work Best?

I’ve been researching how new authors choose among children’s book publishing companies and I’m curious what really makes one stand out from another in today’s market. With so many traditional publishers, hybrid options, and independent presses, it feels difficult to know which ones truly support storytelling and illustrations well. In your experience, what should authors focus on when selecting children’s book publishing companies? Is it better to prioritize editing support, illustration quality, or distribution reach for long-term success?
