Our Mission
It started with this simple thought.
We believe that everybody needs a little space for personal creativity in their lives.
That’s why at Doodle Reads we strive to create quality engaging books that are designed to be doodled on, scribbled in, customized, decorated, cut-up, stuck in, and fully enjoyed. We love the enjoyment of reading, culture and art, but we also love the ‘doing’ of doodling, drawing and making stuff. And that’s how our books work.
There are no rules, no experience is necessary, just enjoy!
