About Us
The Story Behind Martin’s Children’s Books
Martin’s Children’s Books was founded with a simple yet powerful mission: to create diverse, engaging, and meaningful stories for young readers.
Latoshia Martin, an educator, wife, mother, and author, launched the company to fill the gap in children’s literature for books that reflect real-world diversity. Her journey as an author began during the COVID-19 pandemic while working from home, recognizing the need for stories that celebrate identity, confidence, and learning.
Our books are designed to inspire, educate, and empower children through stories that:
-
Promote early literacy with fun and engaging narratives.
-
Celebrate diversity by ensuring all children feel seen and valued.
-
Support social-emotional learning, helping kids build confidence and kindness.

A Message from Latoshia Martin
As an educator for over 15 years, I’ve seen firsthand how important representation is in children’s books. I created Martin’s Children’s Books to ensure that every child, no matter their background, can see themselves as the hero of their own story.
Reading is a powerful tool, and my goal is to provide stories that encourage young minds to embrace who they are, explore new ideas, and develop a lifelong love for learning."
