Welcome to Amabel Books

The Challenge
At Amabel Books, we’ve noticed that learning to read can sometimes be a tough journey for kids. When my daughters were struggling with traditional reading methods, I saw how it could turn into a frustrating experience rather than the exciting adventure it should be.

The Stress
We all know that reading every day is super important, but what if it turns into a source of stress and tears? That’s not what reading should be about, especially for kids who might be struggling or feeling overwhelmed.

The Solution
That’s where Amabel Books comes in! We’re all about making the reading journey both fun and effective. The fun entertaining stories are designed to keep kids engaged while they’re learning. There are alternating pages of simple and complex text. This means that kids of all reading levels can find a way to connect with the story and see their progress as they go along.

The Concept
Amabel Books was born out of a desire to make reading less stressful and more enjoyable. By mixing simpler text with more challenging passages, we aim to take some of the pressure off and make learning to read a breeze. With helpful word clues and repetitive text, we’re here to help kids build their skills and confidence while having fun.

The Test
After trying out our idea at home and seeing how much it helped, a friend who’s a kindergarten teacher started using our stories in her classroom. The positive feedback was overwhelming, and before we knew it, our approach was being used in more and more schools. That’s when we knew we were onto something!

The Result
Since 2014, Amabel Books has been delighting young readers with titles like *Truck Got Stuck*, *Just a Smile*, *Geese Are Not Pets* written and illustrated by Jenny Lee Learn and My Mommy Likes* beautifully illustrated by Becky Comber. Our newest books, *Just a Smile* and *The Giant Pumpkin*, were published in 2024, and we’re just getting started! With more exciting books on the way, we’re committed to helping kids build a strong foundation in reading while having a blast. Let’s make reading an adventure your little ones will love!
