About Missy Cat LLC

Missy Cat LLC, co-founded by Mallory J. Stevens and Jesús García, is a creative team dedicated to developing and publishing unique and engaging stories and songs for children. We’re also a record label.

We strive to imagine the world through children’s eyes, capturing the essence of childhood fun while, at the same time, imparting positive messages to help foster social emotional learning (SEL). Our works can translate beautifully to other media, such as animated movies, animated series, and video games.
