Curio is not just a subscription book club; it's a gateway to a world of bilingual wonders for kids in Spanish, Chinese, and French. Our mission is simple: provide authentic, genuine, and high-quality picture books and board books that speak to the hearts of bilingual children. These treasures are sourced and curated globally, originating from native-speaking countries around the world.
Did you know that over 12 million young children, which is 33 percent of all U.S. children under the age of 9, are considered dual language learners? These are young minds with at least one parent who speaks a language other than English at home. The awareness of the cognitive and social-emotional benefits of bilingualism is on the rise, and this percentage continues to grow each year with an increasing number of heritage and non-heritage speakers.
Despite this surge in bilingualism, there's a noticeable gap in the market when it comes to providing quality books for kids in their heritage languages. That's where Curio steps in. We are an educational book company dedicated to serving this underserved market.
Our subscription service is designed to bring joy and learning into the lives of bilingual families. Every three months, our subscribers receive a carefully curated selection of three books. What sets us apart is our comprehensive reading guides, which include summaries, glossaries, and follow-up discussion prompts. These guides empower kids and families to make the most of their reading experience.
