> Description: Gloo Books is an award-winning independent publisher of children’s books that inspire curiosity, empathy and care for the world. We were founded to address a persistent gap in children’s publishing: meaningful representation and inclusive storytelling shouldn’t be hard to find. We believe compassion, diversity and sustainability should be woven naturally into the books children grow up with.
