At EION Books (E-ON), we believe that every child deserves to see themselves in the stories they read. Our mission is simple: to inspire the next generation of storytellers by creating books, tools, and resources that celebrate diversity, spark creativity, and empower kids to dream big.
From engaging children’s books to hands-on workshops, we’re here to make storytelling fun, accessible, and meaningful. Whether it’s teaching kids how to create their own stories, helping parents build diverse libraries at home, or guiding first-time children’s authors through the publishing process, EION Books is committed to making a lasting impact—one story at a time.
Through our publishing services and marketing support, we help aspiring authors bring their stories to life and reach the readers who need them most. Because every child deserves books that reflect their world, and every author deserves the tools to share their voice.
Paula Banks is the CEO and Founder of EION Books, a brand dedicated to inspiring creativity, empowering young storytellers, and ensuring every child sees themselves in the stories they read.
As an award-winning children’s author, Paula blends her passion for storytelling, education, and representation to create books that celebrate diverse voices, spark imagination, and encourage confidence in young readers. Her work goes beyond books—through interactive workshops, creative writing programs, and hands-on resources, she helps children and parents embrace the power of storytelling.
With a deep love for hip-hop, culture, and creativity, Paula brings a fresh and engaging approach to children’s literature, making learning fun, relatable, and impactful. Whether she’s guiding first-time authors through the self-publishing process or developing tools to help families build diverse home libraries, her mission remains the same—to inspire the next generation of storytellers.
Too many kids grow up without seeing themselves in the books they read. At EION Books, we believe that every child deserves to be the hero of their own story one where their culture, experiences, and dreams are celebrated.
When children see characters who look like them, face similar challenges, and celebrate their unique identities, it boosts self-confidence, nurtures empathy, and fosters a love for reading. Representation isn’t just about inclusion—it’s about affirmation and empowerment.
Through our diverse children’s books, creative workshops, and publishing support for new authors, we’re committed to changing the narrative. Our mission is to:
Create stories where every child feels seen
Empower the next generation of storytellers
Help parents and educators build inclusive bookshelves
Every book, every author, and every child matters. Whether you’re a parent building a diverse home library, a teacher seeking inclusive stories, or a writer ready to share your own, you’re part of the change.
