Gloo Books is an independent publishing company that creates beautiful, high quality children’s books for a more inclusive, just and compassionate future. We launched our business to address the lack of representation in children’s literature. It became clear that the lack of diversity within publishing and layers of industry gatekeepers prevent important stories from getting to readers who crave inclusive stories and characters. We knew we had to rethink the business of publishing and find new and innovative ways to reach readers where they are. We launched Gloo Books to champion these values throughout all aspects of our business. Our goal is to empower readers by getting important books created by underrepresented storytellers to their audiences as quickly and cost-effectively as possible.
