The Main Characters

Children are the main characters of their own lives. As such, they deserve to read books in which the main characters look like them.

Children of other ethnicities would also benefit from having books with a diverse range of characters that represent the beautiful diversity of the world in which we live.

Our Focus

Our focus is on providing children with a range of fun and engaging books with characters of colour to promote self-love, self- discovery and a love for reading.

According to 2019 children's publishing statistics, characters of African descent are portrayed in less than 10% of children's books and characters of Asian descent are portrayed in less than 7% of children's books. While children can learn important values from book characters of any background, it builds children's confidence and self-esteem to see and read literature featuring characters that look like them.

Why Choose Us?

Quality

We do extensive research on thousands of books and select the most positive and inspiring books that will affirm your children and make them happy and excited about reading.

Time

When you place an order, you will be able to get books into your children’s hands within a few days. In comparison, when you purchase books from a U.S.-based ecommerce website, your children may need to wait up to two weeks to receive their books.

Cost

We aim to keep our costs as low as possible. Also, there are no hidden charges so what you see is what you get. In comparison to U.S.-based websites, the shipping fees, 7% Online Purchase Tax and other expenses can sometimes be very costly and you don’t know the full cost until the package is delivered to you by the courier.

Reading makes all other learning possible. We need to get books into our children’s hands early and often.
