Our Mission
We create joyful, high-quality books that celebrate Black boy joy, Black girl magic, and the limitless beauty of every shade of childhood.
From heart-racing adventures and laugh-out-loud picture books to innovative math stories that make numbers dance, our titles are crafted to spark imagination, build confidence, and quietly teach empathy, resilience, and pride.
We write for children who have never seen their locs, braids, curls, or brown skin on a book cover, as well as for every child who needs to understand that their stories are equally important.
With over 80 books and growing, we are committed to flooding homes, classrooms, and libraries with mirrors, windows, and doors—stories where every child can say, “That’s me,” or “I want to be just like them.” Tiggio Publishing: where every child gets to be the main character.
Because the world is bigger when everyone gets to shine.
