ONE-STOP SOURCE OF CHILDREN'S BOOKS IN FOREIGN LANGUAGES

International Children’s Books store was created by Yona Eckstein - born out of the personal love of reading, passion for her children and grandchildren, and her own multicultural lifelong experiences.  In May 2025, it was taken over by a similar company, World of Reading, Ltd. (https://www.wor.com) -Cindy Shapiro Tracy helped fulfill orders for Yona for over 20 years and World of Reading has a similar mission!

The mission of International Children's Books is to help parents and grandparents in preserving their native language and traditions and passing them onto their children and grandchildren. We seek to become a one-stop source for quality juvenile literature, baby books, board books, wordless books, picture books, story and chapter books, board games and music, CDs and DVDs in any language of the world (pending availability). 

Furthermore, we seek to become a one-stop resource of children's reading materials for parents, grandparents, caregivers, and educators who are interested in teaching a second language to infants or expose children to different cultures through a foreign language. Our mission is to provide the best children's literature that portrays and reflects the different backgrounds, traditions and cultures of the world.

International Children’s Books strives to help parents in fostering their children’s sensitivity to those who are different from themselves, increase children’s self- esteem and self-confidence. Our books invite children to use their imagination, expand their vocabulary and help gain a better understanding of themselves and others. Through them, kids can learn that although people may differ in their appearance, language or culture, they all experience universal feelings of love, sadness, self-worth, justice, and kindness
