Pangea Publishing

Producing culturally, linguistically relevant reading materials with an early-grade focus. Our books are locally authored, illustrated, and produced in the communities they are read in.

Diverse books that every learner can see themselves in.

  • Our folklore readers were the first storybooks and are still making more today. We have collected over 1,000 stories since the beginning and have created 75 folklore storybooks to date.

  • We craft our original stories with local authors and illustrators with present-day life in mind. We make books to engage kids with characters, places, and ideas they can see themselves in let their imaginations run wild.

  • Issue Books address these realities face-on where kids and their caretakers can explore and address them openly. For each Issue Book we partner our pedagogical expertise with subject matter experts to design impactful and useful lesson plans.

    Issue books are made for children grades 4 and above. We do this to explore issues with depth of language and lean into issues at an age that is developmentally appropriate instead of only scratching the surface of them.
