After struggling to find quality Korean children’s books without expensive mark-ups or shipping fees, a simple idea was born. A mom on a mission began creating a series of Korean books specifically for families living outside of Korea.
Our mission is creating engaging, accessible stories so every family with a love for Korean language and culture can build a vibrant and practical library.
Learn MoreSOMETHING FOR EVERYONE
Each book features Korean, English, and romanizations so no one feels left out!
THOUGHTFUL DESIGN
Bold illustrations, bright colors, and large text keep readers of all ages captivated and engaged.
QUALITY & CARE
Each sturdy board book has rounded corners, perfect for little hands and is printed in South Korea with soy ink on FSC certified paper.
PRACTICAL APPLICATION
Created with the help of Korean language instructors and speech pathologists, each story includes phrases and vocabulary that are easily applied to daily life.
REPRESENTATION MATTERS
Families come in all shapes and sizes… just like the families featured in our books!
Cadamini Books are delightfully illustrated and lovingly designed. They’re so inviting for any reader looking to learn and explore Korean!

author and illustrator of Accident!
It’s so hard to pick my favorite thing about this book, but I think it might be all of the ways that it’s so inclusive – from the representation in the illustrations to the multiple ways that the writing can be accessed by different readers.

It is a lovely book and visually appealing. My 4 year old son enjoyed it.

Your book arrived a few days ago, and my son (19 months old) has asked both me and my husband (non-Korean speaker) to read it over and over again. I love the Korean adjectives that are so culturally on point! I love the diverse people and the style of illustration. I love that there are so many things my child can point to so that we can name and describe them. Thank you for pouring so much into this book and sharing it with the world!

(The book) is a hit with my son, his cousin, and grandpa – Teaching grandpa English as well as kids Korean!
– M
Fun and enjoyable. I really liked the simple illustration and color choices. It’s a great way to have my kids read and learn Korean as they relate with the story.

Each book is thoughtfully and lovingly designed to add Korean exposure while also reinforcing Korean language in a fun and simple way.
