About us

Cardinals are more than simple birds- it's a symbol of hope, warmth and home. Cardinals are known for returning year after year, reminding us that some places become part of who we are. 

That's the kind of bookstore we want to create. 

At Cardinal Books, we want to be a place people return to again and again-a welcoming space where families discover stories, children fall in love with reading and neighbors gather around books and conversation. 

The cardinal bright red feathers are symbolized of passion and joy reflecting our love for literature and our commitment to building a vibrant bilingual reading community. Good spirits come from heaven and here, every reader is seen, every language is celebrated and every story finds a home.

In loving memory of Elena Ruiz, my grandmother, who taught me the enduring power of faith, family and joy of sharing stories.
