The Multicultural Fun and Magic of Worldwide Buddies!

Multicultural Fun and Magic of Worldwide Buddies

 

Worldwide Buddies is a series of fictional, educational stories with characters from different countries that allow readers to imagine a more beautifully complex world. Stories are designed to promote cultural awareness and introduce little ones to diverse realities and wonders of the world, early on.

Each story explores a different underlying social, cultural, or political concept. This is done through simple plots and characters who face everyday challenges that are universal and relevant to every child. The stories tackle serious topics in a light-hearted, funny and positive way.

We are a group of adult-looking, curious thinkers (but still children at heart), who came together wanting to create books that encourage children to also become curious thinkers. Thinkers that question, explore and accept, whatever that may be.

Our aim is to give children friends from different parts of the world and help them grow into open-minded, 21st-century individuals that embrace diversity.
Stories will be available individually, or through a subscription model, so that children can receive a new story in the mail every 8 weeks. Books will be sold as a standalone product, or as part of a story box, with activities and souvenirs inspired by the story, access to digital experiences, and props for story time.

Join our Wait List for our first story & story box, A Marvelous Mexican Misunderstanding (for ages 6-10). Discover Mexico’s marvelous wonders and follow Adri while he uncovers the biggest misunderstanding…in the history of misunderstandings! The book will become available for purchase this February!
