Nurture Young Readers with Stimulating African-American Children’s Books
Educational experts agree that children who are strong readers are more likely to succeed academically—and even more so when they can see themselves reflected in the stories they read. At ESCHAR Publications, a Mount Dora, FL-based publishing company, we specialize in African-American children’s books that inspire, educate, and entertain. Our mission is to create literature that nurtures creativity, promotes cultural understanding, and stimulates young intellects.
Whether you’re a parent, teacher, or caregiver, our beautifully illustrated children’s books offer a meaningful way to connect with kids and support their educational journey. Each book is designed to reflect the rich heritage, values, and aspirations of African-American communities, helping children build confidence and a love for reading from an early age.

Cultural Motivation Through Storytelling
Children develop a love for reading when they see characters who look like them and share similar life experiences. This personal connection allows them to reimagine their world, explore new possibilities, and dream big. That’s why our publishing company focuses on creating African-American children’s books that represent cultural stories, traditions, and achievements often missing in mainstream literature.
At ESCHAR Publications, we understand the power of representation. Our stories celebrate African-American history, values, and everyday experiences that resonate with readers of all ages. Give your child the gift of storytelling that reflects who they are and encourages lifelong learning.
Meet Our Founder
Our founder, Vivian Owens, is a former teacher who began writing children’s books out of necessity—she couldn’t find books that celebrated African-American culture for her own children. At the time, less than 2% of children’s literature in the U.S. featured the Black experience. Determined to fill that gap, she wrote books to empower both children and parents in the learning process.
Today, ESCHAR Publications continues that legacy with a growing collection of books that inform, uplift, and entertain. Each title is crafted with care to support literacy, cultural awareness, and self-esteem. Join us in shaping a brighter future through the power of reading.
