CROWNED is built in three parts, moving from the classics everyone knows and loves, to African folklore stories, to new classics we created ourselves.
The fairy tales everyone grew up on, recast so Black children are the heroes at the center of them.
Stories carried across the diaspora, from Anansi to tales told on porches and passed down by grandmothers.
Brand-new tales we wrote and built from scratch, so the next generation has stories of its own.
CROWNED is designed to foster and encourage imagination, equipping children with the creativity and the confidence to overcome any obstacle in their way. These magical tales bring to life visions of Black culture where all kids feel empowered to move through the world as their true, authentic selves.
Regis and Kahran Bethencourt are the New York Times bestselling husband-and-wife team behind CreativeSoul Photography. For years they have been reimagining what children's books can look like, celebrating Black beauty, imagination, and culture through bold visual storytelling.
