Lil' Libros

As mothers and women of color, our goal is to share our language, culture, and stories with our children. Quality and authentic bilingual children's books are hard to find, a problem traditional publishers fail to prioritize, despite the fact that 1 in 4 children in the U.S. are Latino -- a challenge millions of families continue to experience.  

$1.7 MILLION gross revenue in 2020; $1.4 MILLION in 2019; $1.2 MILLION in 2018.
Over 1.5 MILLION children's books sold worldwide.
Sold at Target, Barnes & Noble, Walmart, MoMA, Whole Foods, Amazon, and 2,500+ independent retailers.
18% YoY gross revenue growth in 2020, one of the most challenging years for small businesses.
Strong direct-to-consumer (B2C) sales with 53% year-over-year (YoY) growth in 2020.
Consistent business-to-business (B2B) sales with 24% YoY growth in 2020.
300K+ social media reach across all platforms.
100% Latina-owned

With your investment, we plan to substantially increase our book catalog, implement a subscription membership, create additional consumer products, and more!
