About us

Hi, we are Ricardo and Maria. Ricardo is an educator, researcher and writer. Maria loves design and drawing. We make books that help unlock what is already in a child, in a light and unforced way.

We believe every child has hidden potential that can be developed from an early age. We do our best to bring something useful and something joyful to both children and their parents.

We have a beloved dog, an English Cocker Spaniel called Rocky, who became the hero of his own books. Our family lives in sunny Miami, Florida, and the city's color and pace feed most of what we make.
