Libélula Books • Multilingual books for children
Libélula Books
Libélula Books is an independent children's publisher and the home of the award-winning Bella's World series. Through beautifully illustrated audiobooks and video books, we inspire children to discover new languages and cultures.
Stories that come to life
We believe that stories can be enjoyed in different ways. That's why every Bella's World adventure is designed as both an immersive audiobook and an animated read-along, giving children the freedom to listen, watch, imagine, and discover Bella’s world in the way that feels most magical to them.
Have you ever listened to a rainbow?
You don't always need pictures to enjoy a story. Sometimes your imagination can paint the most beautiful ones, simply by listening.
Meet our characters
Every adventure is better with friends! Meet the curious explorers and storytellers who help Bella discover new cultures around the world.
Bella
Bella loves to travel and make new friends around the world! Her favourite place to visit is Everywhere because all people are beautiful and every place is special.
Adriano
Adriano loves to dance with his frevo umbrella when the sun is shining. Listen to the frevo music and you can jump and kick high in the sky too!
Anahera
Anahera is a forest ranger who loves to watch birds fly in a place where you can listen to rainbows.
Yun
Yun loves to play outside and fly her Chinese Dragon Kite. If you had a kite to take you around the world, where would you go?
Luz
Luz dances with fans so that she doesn’t get hot when the sun is shining. Listen to the music and dance along!
Federico
Federico’s flute is so beautiful that it makes the wind sing! No wonder why UNESCO designated this part of the alpine mountain range a Natural World Heritage site.
Are you a school, children’s hospital, or organisation?
We believe every child should be able to imagine and fall in love with stories. Inspired by the Reggio Emilia approach and designed with accessibility in mind, Bella's World helps children of different languages, backgrounds, and abilities discover the joy of storytelling.
If you'd like to bring Bella's World to the children in your community, reach out to learn more about our partnership programmes.
