We find the stories.
We make them travel.

A modern publishing imprint dedicated to discovering exceptional Spanish voices and bringing them to English-speaking audiences.

We are currently negotiating a curated selection of titles for international publication. Our first releases will be announced soon.

Stories that
light the way

Lumen Reads is an independent imprint bringing the best of Spanish young-reader literature to the English-language market — stories that make big ideas feel like adventures.

We seek out books that have already won the hearts of readers abroad and bring them to readers across America for the first time, with a focus on science and discovery for young minds.

We believe a great story is the best way to spark a lifelong curiosity about how the world works — and that the next generation of scientists, dreamers, and explorers deserves books worthy of their questions.

Authored in Spain · Launching in America

Adventures with big ideas at their heart

We bring proven Spanish books for young readers into English — chosen for the rare way they turn real ideas into stories children can't put down.

Our Focus

Science & discovery

Stories where curiosity is the hero — making science feel exciting, accessible, and never intimidating.

Our Source

Proven in Spain

We look for books that have already earned devoted readers in Spanish and beyond, and bring them to America in English for the first time.

Our Mission

Inspiring the next generation

A special commitment to encouraging young readers — and girls in particular — to see themselves as future scientists and explorers.

Science, told as a story

Lumen Reads books are written to do what textbooks can't — turn real scientific ideas into adventures kids can't put down. Ideal for classrooms, libraries, and STEM programs, with a special commitment to inspiring girls into science.

"A child will never picture themselves as an old scientist in a white coat. They need stories where curiosity is the hero."
