—Spring 2023—

Our story started over thirty years ago with a vision of sharing the books kids love to read. We’ve carried this mission with us through the decades - growing, changing, and adding teammates and products. What has never wavered is our enthusiastic commitment to literacy and learning, to making and finding the best books for your readers. Books that matter. Books that make a difference. You’ve helped write the Usborne Books & More story over the years, from finding the perfect gift for your child to filling your classroom with resources to sharing a sweet bedtime story, to joining us in our business opportunity, amplifying our message. You and your readers are the best part of our story and why we do what we do. We believe every book and every child matters. And while that remains the main ingredient of our mission, you may notice we have a different name and a new logo.

Over the past nine months, we’ve worked to create a story and a name that better represents who we are, not just what we sell. We believe we will always carry the best books, toys, and learning products, but we wanted to have an identity that expressed it in ways that felt modern, fresh, exciting, and captured the heart of our mission. Welcome to the next chapter in our story… PaperPie.

The idea behind PaperPie is that paper is our medium of communication, whether it’s a board book, game pieces, a series of chapter books, or creative activities. We offer exceptional, innovative, and joy-filled ways for your child to connect with learning. But what about pie? We’re passionate about the myriad ways children consume information. As the world continues to fight for their attention with shiny screens and noisy devices, it’s never felt more important for literacy and learning tools to feed the imagination, grow the emotions, and nourish the mind of children. When you think of pie, you think of something to be gathered around, something to be shared, an experience worth savoring. That’s exactly what we think our products are made for… literacy and learning as a lifestyle, stories made to share, and moments that inspire you to gather. PaperPie is for memory making, creative learning, and unlimited possibilities, all within the context of togetherness.

As the next chapter in our PaperPie story begins, we are still proud to offer you selections for the readers and learners in your life from either Kane Miller or Usborne Publishing, with additional educational items from Learning Wrap-ups and our newest offering, SmartLab Toys. With products like these, we know the best is yet to come, and we can’t do it without you. Together we help children become the hero of this story. You belong here with us helping children and communities do greater and be greater. Turn the page and start this new season of stories with us…
