To inspire, empower, & nurture creative minds one Indie book at a time.

The Mission

To enrich the minds of children by cultivating a love for reading. We aim to connect young readers and their mentors to new and exciting stories that empower, encourage, and expand their way of thinking. Through providing a thoughtfully curated selection of inclusive and diverse books crafted by local Indie authors, our purpose is to promote children's literacy and support the surrounding communities we serve by giving back to Michigan schools through book purchases and engaging events.
