The beginning

A simple need.
A bigger idea.

Two moms wanted Spanish-English books for their babies. They looked for stories that reflected the way their families spoke, learned and loved.

They couldn’t find them. Publishers said there wasn’t a market.

“There was no market.”
Or so they were told.

So they created their own publishing brand in 2014. Five months after their first book, Target signed them. Within six years, their books had reached more than 1.5 million readers.

The “no market” was really
a starving market.

The opportunity is still here

The shelf is
still waiting.

The need that inspired one small publishing idea hasn’t gone away. Families are still looking for meaningful books in more than one language.

01

Families want stories that feel like home.

Bilingual books can make language part of everyday life—at bedtime, at the kitchen table, and in a child’s first library.

02

Learning doesn’t need another screen.

Parents and educators value hands-on pages children can hold, read aloud, color in and return to again and again.

03

More languages open more doors.

Creators can help young readers connect words across cultures, while giving multilingual households more ways to learn together.

04

Independent creators can publish, too.

You don’t need a publishing team to begin exploring an idea, shaping a book and preparing it for a print-on-demand marketplace.

Big need.

A shelf with room to grow. That’s the space RoyaltyShelf AI is designed to help you explore—one bilingual book idea at a time.
