Lil' Libros

Lil' Libros was founded in 2014 two best friends, Patty Rodriguez and Ariana Stein, ^[2] to create bilingual children's resources that authentically represented the "duality of being an American Latino."^[3] Rodriguez serves as the Chief Creative Officer and Stein as the Chief Executive Officer. In 2021, the company sold more than 1.5 million books, all which introduce cultural immersion and dual-language learning^[4]. Some titles include: Loteria: First Words/Primeras Palabras and Counting Con/Contando con Frida. These books, amongst others, have led to being featured on online publications like the Washington Post^[5] and Buzzfeed.^[6] As of 2026, Lil' Libros has expanded it's catalog and published over 100 books^[7]. It's rapid success has led the company to gain promotion in other online publications such as Forbes,^[8] La Opinion,^[9] and L.A. Parent.^[10]

The company signed a world wide distribution agreement in 2017 with Gibbs Smith to expand and create books for older age groups.^[11] In 2026, a new agreement was signed with Simon & Shuster, a global publisher, to continue making bilingual educational resources accessible to all^[12].
