About Us  
 

Mascot Books is the leading publisher of children's titles featuring colleges and universities, professional sports teams, and now even elementary schools and little leagues. Each book is customized with beautiful illustrations and story lines specific to your team or school.

Mascot Books was founded by Aimee Aryal with the release of her first book - "Hello, Hokie Bird!" - about her alma mater's mascot. The book was written after Aimee unsuccessfully searched for such a book for her daughter, Anna. Aimee wrote "Hello, Hokie Bird!" on the drive home from the game ... and Mascot Books was born.

Mascot Books is growing and is always adding new teams to our roster.
