About us

How it all started...

Our story began with a simple goal: we wanted to raise a multilingual family and experience the joy of learning a new language together.

As a Dutch–Iranian couple, we speak Dutch together at home, but we also wanted to embrace Persian as part of our family's future. Along the way, we discovered that many other families shared the same dream: raising bilingual children and learning a language together in a fun and natural way.

So we decided to create them ourselves.

We opened our first shop in 2024, and what started as a small project (with only Dutch-Persian books) quickly grew into something much bigger.

Families from all over the world asked if our books could also be available in other language combinations.

That is how Liotales was born.

Today, we work together with talented translators and native voice-over artists from around the world to create beautiful multilingual books that help families discover new languages together, one story, one word, and one adventure at a time.

Our mission

At Liotales we specialize in bilingual children's books, designed to make learning a new language accessible and enjoyable for both kids and parents. 

We work together with translators, illustrators and voice-over artists from around the world to improve the quality of our books every day!

Our books are crafted with love and care, ensuring each story is both engaging and educational. Our mission is to ensure that multilingual households can both enjoy reading children's stories together.

We hope you and your children enjoy our books as much as we enjoyed creating them!
