Our Values

Creating a love of reading, what a job! But not at any price.
At ZebraBook we have solid values, here they are :
Unique

Unique

Each book we publish is lovingly made and hand-finished for our customers; a book like no other for a child like no other. We believe that nothing compares to a book made and read with love when it comes to fostering a love of reading in our children.
Eco-friendly

Eco-friendly

Our dream at ZebraBook is to pass on the magical world of reading to your little ones, but we also care about the message behind the book. We don’t want your dedication on the front page to read. "To my cutie Kevin, here is book made in China with paper sourced in the Amazon forest. Enjoy." Our books are all made in Belgium using paper sourced from sustainable forests (a new tree is planted for every tree that is cut down). Our CO2 emissions from printing and transport are offset, and Marie (our darling editor) will only travel around by bike, although that’s altogether another story ahem!
Just as funny for adults as children.

Just as funny for adults as children.

Being parents ourselves, we know that children’s books often don’t hold much interest for the parent reading it. At ZebraBook we always think of you putting your little ones to bed and we strive to make our books as fun for you as they are for your children.
Practical

Practical

If you’re a working woman or over-stressed man with little time then ZebraBook can solve all of your gift giving woes. It’s true! In just two clicks the book is ordered and will be delivered within five working days. If you don't want to or don’t have time to hand over the gift in person it can be sent directly to the child's address. A really practical solution for those who fear maternity wards or can’t stand noisy birthday parties. What is more our after-sales service is out of this world!
No stereotypes

No stereotypes

In French children's literature, 80% of the heroes are boys (whoops). The roles of women and men are over stereotyped: mum wears an apron and dad has his toolbox (which is totally cool but not if it's the only choice). In our books we have lady truck drivers and soldiers, neurosurgeons, fisherwomen, girls who play football, dads who take care of their children etc. (just like in real life!) In short plenty of opportunities to see that girls and boys can do any kind of job or activity.
