About Us

 Goosebottom Books, LLC, was founded in 2008 by award-winning author, Shirin Yim Leos, with the purpose of presenting Real Princesses and unconventional people of power to children aged 7 to 14. The scepter was passed to fellow author, bookseller and educator, Pamela Livingston, MA, MFA who continues presenting under-represented histories to children written by persons of wide-ranging backgrounds.  

The Treasury of Real Princesses, Dastardly Dames and Goddess series, along with individual titles such as multi-award winner, The Lost Celt, expand the nonfiction and historical fiction selections traditionally available for children to include under-represented people of power from all of over the world. We seek to represent people who have gone beyond the limitations of cultural norms to rule our countries, hearts and minds on every continent.
