Our Mission
Despite a growing need for more diverse books, most publishers, bookstores, & distributors in the States have been slow to provide sufficient options. Sol Book box was born from a desire to make high-quality Spanish books more accessible, and reading en español more fun for little lectors everywhere.
¿Por qué?
16% of the U.S. habla español.
Bilingualism is in. ¡Qué emoción!
Without enough books. Um, que?
Crazy, right? Something's gotta change here.
As mamás & papás to our own bilingual kiddos, we've been there. Our kids deserve more. Let's do better.
