Home Grown Books Information

Home Grown Books was founded on a simple philosophy: children deserve reading material as rich as their imaginations. After years of having difficulty finding high quality early reader books outside of schools, reading specialist Kyla Ryman founded Home Grown Books. As an advocate of organic learning for young children, Kyla knew that beginning readers would be more successful when they were engaged with the reading material. The creation of Home Grown Books was the solution: a company dedicated to creating early reading content that is visually stimulating, respects the intelligence of young learners, and still engages mom and dad. Our most fundamental goal is to give your child a successful reading experience. We pair simple, supportive text with ideas and story lines that appeal to children’s natural curiosity. Words and sounds are introduced in a meaningful context that honor children’s innate intelligence. The collaboration of artists and educators is an important part of the Home Grown Books model. We value that young children understand much more than they can initially read, so we use conceptually rich artwork as an entrance into the world of reading. We are committed to keeping our eco-footprint as small as possible for your family and for the planet we share. Our entire printing process is green. We use wind power, recycled paper, and no-VOC vegetable inks to make our books. You can take comfort in knowing that our products are always safe for your family and never harmful to the environment. We are dedicated to supporting organic beginning reading practices and creativity in early education. Home Grown Books exists to help build and strengthen your community by offering free educational resources for parents and donating a percent of profits to arts based literacy programs.
