GLOBAL EDUCATION CURRICULUM & BOOKS FOR KIDS
ABOUT
Our Mission
Imprints Press is a children's curriculum and book publisher that inspires imagination and creativity through topics of global literacy, character education, and diversity.
Our culturally appropriate curriculum and stories help children dream of a world beyond their own while promoting positive messages of tolerance, kindness, and self-responsibility.
We believe that creating bonds across cultures at a young age through education and books has the power to change the world and help children become more socially aware global citizens as adults.
Our Story
As world travelers, teachers, and writers, we grew up on the written word. Books were everywhere in our lives and we soaked up all of the stories we could, internalizing them, and in some ways making them part of our identities.
As we got older, we had the opportunity to travel extensively, to interact across boundaries of culture, race, and language, and to learn some very valuable lessons about diversity, character, and what it means to be a global citizen.
We were inspired to start Imprints Press as a means to make a positive impact and to broaden all children's perspectives, even if they don't have the ability to travel far and wide. We believe that learning to be tolerant of different perspectives through curriculum and books is one of the most fundamental building blocks of creating an empathetic, cooperative, and more peaceful world.
