Nearly 60% of children do not enjoy reading.
We were shocked by this statistic from the National Literacy Trust. So, we created the world’s one-and-only teddy bear bookshelf with a mighty mission to bring that statistic down to 0% by making reading FUN! Soft and huggable, Bibli was thoughtfully designed alongside child educators and psychologists to bring comfort and confidence to readers of all ages, replacing feelings of fear, anxiety, and shame with excitement, assurance, and joy.

It also came with a very sweet thank you card from the authors and arrived very quickly! I will definitely be ordering more for the little bookworms in my life!" - Jackson (Happy Customer)
"This is a wonderful social-emotional learning read for little ones. The Friendly Bookshelf tells Bibli's story, but it's meant to empower kids to be brave, kind, and inclusive. The story shows what it truly means to be a friend. Daniela Pérez-Duarte's illustrations include warm, inviting tones and skillfully depict the characters' emotions. Kids may want to share their own stories after reading the book and help others believe their stories are important, too. The Friendly Bookshelf offers important messages about the need for representation and diversity." - Diondra K. Brown (Common Sense Media)
"Immediately after our Bibli launch party, when Katherine and Caroline unveiled Bibli, a quiet girl who is often hesitant to share her work co-authored a book with her older sister and emailed it to the Library for inclusion on our new shelf. One girl was so excited to see her work on Bibli that she gave the Bibli shelf a huge hug. It means an immense amount for the kids in our community to see that their work is being taken seriously. They're better, more confident writers for it."
- Rebecca (Librarian)
