We are a multicultural family where notionally, we can speak three languages - English, Serbian and Dutch. As our family grew, we realised there was an opportunity to teach our children their native languages but didn’t have effective resources such as books or media readily available other than speaking different languages to our children.
As a result, the idea to create multilingual books and learning aids came to mind as a way of capturing the interest of our girls to learn the languages of their cultures. Bobby’s Bilingual Books is designed with growing families in mind. We want to empower families to teach their children all the languages of their heritage and develop this learning early in a fun, memorable and effective way.
Our brand is dedicated to three very special little ratbags; Milena, our spirited and wise beyond her years four-year-old, Nevena, our always smiling mastermind 18-month-old, and Bobby the adventurer, the most loveable cat you'll ever know.
These three inspire us every day, reminding us to keep life fun, colourful, and exciting. We are thrilled they are on this journey with us, learning every step of the way.
Knowing how many families similar to ours are out there, we want to grow with our community and encourage you all to share with us any languages you would like to see, inspirations, topic suggestions or even just your bilingual or multilingual journey.
We want our products to be safe and well loved by your children and our own, and part of that was ensuring we are doing our bit to pass on a beautiful environment for them to thrive in.
Sustainability has been at the core of our business ethos since the very beginning, and although we are not perfect, absolutely all of our packaging has been thoughtfully sourced locally and is 100% recyclable or compostable, right down to our custom packaging tape.
