A program of BeRemarkable Foundation

Be Remarkable, Andi.

A children's book series that takes kids around the world with Andi — a role model who shows every child how to be remarkable. The Foundation publishes it, so every book funds the next kid who needs it.

Andi, ready for the next country in her journey
Meet Andi

A Remarkable Girl in a Remarkable World.

Andi is a curious six-year-old from the Bronx with Puerto Rican roots, on a journey to visit every country on Earth — 244 books across 22 series, each centered on a single theme: culture, service, friendship, faith, sport. The spine never changes: be remarkable, in whatever way is yours.

In a world where kids look up to whoever's on the screen, Andi is the role model we'd want them to have — not selling anything, just showing every kid how to be remarkable and curious about the world. She's the Foundation's whole idea, turned into a character kids can follow.

Why this matters

Every kid is already remarkable — a story just helps them remember.

Every kid deserves to see themselves at the center of a story, and to walk away believing they can do remarkable things — in their own community and the wider world. Too many never get that story.

Kids who don't see themselves read less, engage less, and dream smaller. Andi changes the script — a kid leading her own story, with room for every child right beside her.

The model

We don't wait for publishing's gatekeepers. We are the publisher.

Traditional publishing has been slow to fund stories like these — a big reason the gap exists. So we stopped waiting.

The entire series — every book, audiobook, and curriculum — has been dedicated to the Foundation. 100% of literary revenue flows straight back to the kids we serve — no gatekeepers deciding whose stories get told, just a book on a shelf becoming a classroom, a curriculum, a school.

A public commitment

Wherever Andi goes next, the first dollars come home.

Book revenue is 100% the Foundation's — and a progressive share of any future success comes back too, earmarked for the Remarkable School. The biggest share lands on the first dollars in.

A public moral commitment to the Foundation's mission, not a contract — held to account in the open.

How we make them

Twelve books in a year, not one book in three.

We produce Andi through an intentionally modern model — using the tools of this era the way an earlier era used oil paint — without ever giving up cultural authority.

AI-integrated character production

A character-consistency engine keeps Andi looking like Andi across every book, so an AI-assisted workflow lets us publish twelve books in Year One — a pace traditional publishing can't touch.

Country-specific artists

Backgrounds and cultural detail are illustrated by artists from inside each featured country — so every place Andi visits is drawn by someone who knows it from the inside.

Cultural advisors

Every country book is reviewed by a cultural advisor from that community before it's published — so each culture is specific, accurate, and honored.

Lead author & art direction

A single lead author and art director shapes the whole series, keeping it authentic and creatively consistent, book to book. We say exactly how the books are made — in the open, on every one.

Phase 1 · Launching November 2027

Twelve books. Two beginnings.

Phase 1 opens the series with two structurally different things, released together as a single launch bundle — in English, with Spanish-language companion editions, and bulk pricing built for schools and community organizations.

Book One — Travels to Puerto Rico

The standalone opening of Andi's entire universe. Her first flight, her ancestral home, the moment her whole story begins. Puerto Rico stands on its own — it isn't part of the series below.

First Series — Community Champions

11 books in which Andi rallies kids around the world to serve their own communities: Cuba · Vietnam · Bangladesh · Ethiopia · Sierra Leone · Guyana · Mongolia · Paraguay · Kosovo · Yemen · Tuvalu.

Book One + the 11-book first series = 12 books in the launch bundle — the opening of a vision that grows to 244 books across 22 series.

The bundle

All twelve books as a complete first-wave collection — for families, classrooms, and libraries.

English + Español

Every book ships with a Spanish-language companion edition, so families read together in the language of home.

Built for schools

Bulk pricing for districts, Title I schools, and community organizations — with a free-distribution program planned for Phase 2.

The roadmap

From a book to a school.

PHASE 1 · NOV 2027

Produce & publish

The launch bundle — Book One plus the Community Champions series — released in English and Spanish, ready for homes and classrooms.

PHASE 2 · YEAR 2

Distribute at scale

Up to 10,000 free copies to Title I schools and Latina/o community organizations across the country, prioritizing where need is highest, plus a family subscription — subject to funding.

PHASE 3 · YEAR 2–3

Curriculum & training

A culturally responsive K–3 reading curriculum, co-built with educator and museum partners — training 500+ educators.

PHASE 4 · YEAR 4+

The Remarkable School

The capital campaign begins for a real, tuition-free, culturally responsive elementary school — the dream Andi carries home.

Three-year targets

What we're building toward.

12
books published in Year One — the bundle.
10K
books distributed free to Title I schools & Latina/o community organizations.
50+
schools and community organizations served, across the U.S. and Puerto Rico.
500+
educators & family literacy coordinators trained.
5,000+
children engaged in Andi-anchored reading programs.
20+
community reading events hosted.

Distribution and program targets beyond Phase 1 are goals, scaled to funding as it's raised.

The long game

At the end of the last book, Andi dreams of a school.

When Andi finally comes home, she carries a dream: a Remarkable School — where children everywhere are encouraged to do remarkable things in their own communities, around the world, and for others. Where being remarkable was never something a child has to earn, where cultural identity is honored, and where everything Andi brought home from every country becomes a real curriculum.

BeRemarkable Foundation is committed to making that school real. A culturally responsive, tuition-free (or sliding-scale) elementary school — its home still to be chosen, anywhere in the world — anchored in the values the series carries:

Cultural reverence & identity affirmation

Curiosity as method & service to community

Indigenous wisdom honored & multilingual literacy

Funded by compounding Foundation revenue, major capital campaigns, and the public commitment on any future success beyond the page. Capital campaign anticipated in 2028; doors open 2030–2032.
