Founded by the #1 New York Times Best-selling and award-winning author Kwame Alexander and his longtime agent and business partner Arielle Eckstut, Big Sea Entertainment is dedicated to creating innovative, highly original children’s and family entertainment. 

The name was inspired by Langston Hughes's autobiography and its epitaph:

Life is a big sea
full of many fish.
I let down my nets
and pull.

Building off of our success in children’s literature, education, and publishing, we are a preeminent producer of children’s edutainment in television and film, including content for at-home and classroom learning.

Our projects include short form digital, scripted, and non-scripted children’s and family entertainment programming, along with developing innovative apps and compelling podcasts that support and add value to the community and our endeavors.
