Little Griot Press logo: a griot's kora rising from an open book. Rooted in Culture. Open to the World.

An independent publishing house bringing meaningful stories, diverse voices and culturally rooted experiences to readers of all ages.

A griot is a storyteller, historian and keeper of collective memory.

Little Griot Press is inspired by the West African tradition of the griot. We celebrate the power of stories to preserve heritage, spark curiosity and connect generations.

From imaginative children’s books and educational adventures to memoir and thought-provoking titles for adults, our books reflect a world rich in culture, discovery and human experience.

Rooted in Culture. Open to the World.
