At Tiny Tee Books, we believe every child deserves to see themselves in the pages of a book. Not just as background characters or sidekicks — but as the heroes, the thinkers, the dreamers, and the doers.
The Power of Being Seen
From a young age, children begin forming ideas about who they are and what they can become. When kids see characters who look like them — with their skin tone, hair texture, family life, and cultural experiences — they gain confidence, validation, and a sense of belonging.
Our books are crafted with that purpose in mind. Whether it’s Brax navigating big feelings or taking the brave step toward potty training, each story affirms: you are enough just the way you are.
Why Representation in Literacy is More Than a Trend
Studies show that children’s books overwhelmingly feature non-diverse characters. But diversity in books isn’t about checking a box — it’s about reflecting the real world and helping all children feel included, respected, and celebrated.
For children of color, especially African American boys and girls, seeing themselves reflected in joyful, everyday moments builds:
- Self-esteem
- Language development
- Reading engagement
- Social-emotional awareness
Tiny Tee’s Mission: Read, Learn, Shine
Our stories are created not just to entertain, but to educate, affirm, and uplift. We pair fun, toddler-friendly designs with meaningful messages to inspire curiosity and compassion from ages 2–7.
We also provide flash cards, tracing pads, and activity books to help families build a complete learning experience — all centered in cultural pride and joy.
Let’s Raise Readers Together
Whether you’re a parent, grandparent, teacher, or simply someone who believes in the power of books, we invite you to join us on this journey. Together, we can nurture confident readers who grow up knowing they are seen, heard, and loved.
