About LinguaLittle University
At LinguaLittle University, we believe every child deserves a head start on the world's languages.
LinguaLittle University was created by educator and author Professor LaQuita Smith, who saw firsthand how early language exposure shapes a child's confidence, curiosity, and connection to the world around them. She set out to create something beautiful, practical, and fun — books that don't just teach words, but open doors.
Our flagship series, Colors & Shapes, teaches children colors and shapes in up to 10 world languages — English, Spanish, French, Mandarin, Arabic, Portuguese, German, Japanese, Hindi, and Swahili. Every page features native-script writing, phonetic pronunciation guides, illustrated vocabulary, and a full built-in activity workbook (matching, tracing, word search, coloring pages, and flashcard cutouts).
We believe language learning should feel like play — not like homework.
Whether you're a parent raising a bilingual child, a teacher looking for classroom resources, or a grandparent giving the ultimate keepsake gift, LinguaLittle University has a book for your family.
Every letter. A new language.
— Professor LaQuita Smith, Dean & Founder
