We’ve got big news—LilMarcoAndFriends.com is officially LIVE! 🎉
This isn’t just a website. It’s a dream realized, a mission in motion, and a joyful next step in our journey to bring inclusive stories, lovable characters, and heart-centered learning to kids and families everywhere.
From the very first Lil’ Marco book to the growing collection of stories, merch, and learning tools—we’ve been building something special. And now, we’re proud to bring it all together in one place.
Here’s what you’ll find on the new site:
Books that reflect the world we live in
Our stories celebrate kindness, confidence, respect, and representation. Whether it’s Lil’ Marco’s bedtime adventures or Gus and Haylie learning big life lessons, every book is designed to help kids feel seen, valued, and inspired.
Interactive merch & educational fun
We’re not just about books! Explore branded puzzles, coloring books, plushies, affirmation cards, and more—tools to make learning joyful and representation real.
Resources for families and educators
We’re working on downloadable resources, printables, and special bundles that make it easier for parents and teachers to bring Lil’ Marco & Friends into homes and classrooms.
Our story
Learn how this brand was born from a place of deep love, healing, and purpose—and why our founder, Sharon Jones-Scaife, believes every child deserves to feel empowered by what they read and play with.
Why this matters:
Too often, diverse stories are hard to find on bookshelves. Lil’ Marco and Friends was created to change that—one smile, one page, one child at a time.
This new website allows us to better serve families, schools, and organizations who are looking for meaningful, joyful content that centers representation, literacy, and love.
