Welcome to Aikon Bookport
Our Story
Aikon Bookport was founded in 2021 by Aila Joy Tan. It all started with simple learning materials she made for her first baby, which eventually inspired her to publish educational books. This became an instrument for other children to learn, and for parents to have resources to teach their children while enjoying quality time together. Our goal is to train the habit of reading and learning from a young age, as we firmly believe that these skills provide a significant advantage in shaping someone's future.
