Mascot Books

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Mascot Books is the largest publisher of licensed children’s sports books in America.[1] Based in Herndon, Virginia,[2] just outside of Washington, D.C., Mascot Books creates children’s books for professional teams, colleges, and even elementary schools. Started in 2003 by Aimee Aryal and her husband Naren,[3] Mascot Books has over 100 titles from teams and schools all over the country. Aimee created Mascot Books after she was unable to find a book about her Alma Matters’ mascot, the Virginia Tech HokieBird.[3] Since writing Hello, Hokie Bird! in 2003,[2] Aimee has written over 100 books and has more coming out every year. Aimee does not write all the books; some of sports most well known figures have written a Mascot Book including Yogi Berra, Jerry Remy, and Rusty Staub.[3]
