Independent Spanish Language Booksellers

With massive corporations dominating the book publishing industry, (I’m talking to you Amazon) it’s important to get out and show independent booksellers some love! 

For parents and educators looking to introduce children to Spanish language and culture, there are dozens of wonderful independent bilingual and Spanish language children’s book publishers available to choose from. 

Typically, these independent publishers create and distribute high-quality books that celebrate multicultural and bilingual narratives. Plus, their websites not only sell books but their customer service reps make great recommendations for all ages.

Here, I’ve put together a list of 12 Spanish language and children’s booksellers from around the world. Happy reading!

Don’t forget to suppor Independent Booksellers by shopping their collections on Bookshop- the site gives 10% back to the stores, making it easy to shop a few books from different sellers all at once and save on shipping!

Lee and Low Books

A minority-owned children’s book publisher from the United States, Lee and Low Books is a multicultural publishing house committed to working with authors and illustrators of color and celebrating multicultural narratives. 

They don’t have much for Spanish, per say, but they are just a great book company that I wanted to include anyway because of their focus on diversity and inclusivity.
