Everyone shhh! the wait is over... we are SOOO excited to finally present our 22nd book Quiet Kush!!!😍

Quiet Kush, by Natasha B. Padhiar is her debut picture book as author/illustrator is about discovering the strengths of an introvert; that a quiet personality can have a loud imagination.💭

Kush is so quiet. That’s how everyone seems to describe him…but inside his head, it’s so loud! “Quiet Kush” is an ode to the introverts who have been mislabeled as shy and too quiet, those children who love to read and imagine and follow their own path of enjoyment.🤗

With this launch, is also continuing our program to help us not only bridge the diversity gap but also the accessibility gap in children’s literature. With each new book launch, Mango and Marigold Press is committed to also raise the funds to donate 1001 books to literacy and advocacy nonprofits that are working across the country to help those in need.

This story centers around an Indian-American boy who shows us that there is strength in his quietness and that he has so much more to offer to those who are truly listening. Kush shows us that sometimes finding that quiet place helps us have much louder ideas and insights about the world around us.

Curious about the labor of love that goes into book publishing? Hear about it firsthand from our author of Unbelonging, Gayatri Sethi:

Overwhelmed by how much heart & soul work it takes to birth a book into the world.
🖤
Y’all, so much invisible labor goes into the publishing process. I’m beyond grateful to all of you for your part in making this work what it is. I’m super grateful to the early readers who offered praise quotes, line editor, authenticity readers, typeset artist, publishing family and writing community. I will name names. The acknowledgement section is lengthy.
🖤✨
Huge thanks to every one of you preordering & sharing about with your networks. Just over three months to go & there is much to align & complete by then!
🖤✨

"As an independent publisher of diverse children’s books at Mango & Marigold Press, I too frequently hear that we keep things the same because “we’ve always done it that way,” or “it works,” and my question is always, works for whom?"

Thank you to Publishers Weekly for sharing out this thoughtful piece written by our CEO on why we need to rethink the classics.

In honor of the literacy celebration, Sailaja Joshi, founder of Mango & Marigold Press, invites readers to pause and reflect on what we consider 'classic' children’s books.
