We started Lion & Bear because we know how special storytime is. There’s nothing like curling up with a great book, watching little eyes light up with curiosity and sharing those small but meaningful moments together.
But as parents, we also know how overwhelming it can be to find the right books. With so many options, how do you choose the ones that are engaging, educational, and fun? That’s where we come in.
Making Storytime Simple and Exciting
Lion & Bear is a book club just for kids—designed to make discovering great stories easy and exciting. Each month, we carefully select 2 high-quality books and send them straight to your door. No more guesswork, just books your little one will love.
Created by Moms, Loved by Families
We’re Melissa and Nicole—best friends, moms, and book lovers who believe in the power of stories. With four kids between us, we know firsthand how books can spark curiosity, bring families closer, and help kids see the world in new ways.
We built Lion & Bear for parents like us—who want to raise readers, create meaningful moments, and make storytime something to look forward to.
