“I want kids to open a book and feel like the world is theirs to explore.”
Mikail Soomro, Founder & Author
Big ideas, made by kids.
Books By Us is a small publisher with a simple belief: children learn best from stories told with heart. We help young authors turn what they love into nonfiction books other kids can't put down.
Mikail Soomro
Mikail is an enterprising student at Quarry Lane Elementary School and the founder of Books By Us. He has been writing books for over a year, and his debut title, All About Nature, has already sold more than 20 copies to young readers.
What started as one kid's curiosity about the world has grown into a mission: to give other young authors a place to share what they know, and to put honest, joyful nonfiction into the hands of kids everywhere.
More about Mikail coming soon, stay tuned!
