Serbian Heritage Press was born from a love for Serbia, its beautiful traditions, and the stories that connect us to our roots.
Living far from home has made me appreciate even more the little things that make our heritage so special — the family celebrations, cherished customs, childhood memories, and stories passed down from one generation to the next.
With roots in Catskill, New York, USA, and Vrnjačka Banja, Serbia, Serbian Heritage Press proudly operates in both countries. While our hearts and stories are deeply connected to these two places, our books can travel much farther. Luka’s Two Christmases is available internationally through Amazon, helping us share Serbian traditions with families around the world.
Through our bilingual children's books and traditional Serbian gifts, we hope to share a little piece of Serbia with every family, wherever they may call home.
Whether you grew up in Serbia, have Serbian roots, or are discovering our culture for the first time, we hope you find something here that makes you feel connected, inspired, and a little closer to home.
To share the beauty of Serbian culture through meaningful stories, traditional gifts, and experiences that bring families and generations together.
Tradition • Family • Heritage • Connection • Love
We believe that even the smallest traditions can create the most beautiful memories.
To help keep Serbian traditions alive for future generations, so that children growing up far from Serbia can feel proud of their roots and carry a little piece of home wherever life takes them.
Milica is a children's book author, educator, and the founder of

Originally from Vrnjačka Banja, Serbia, and now living in New York, she draws inspiration from her childhood memories, Serbian traditions, and the joy of raising her children between two cultures.
Through her stories, she hopes to help children celebrate their heritage, discover family traditions, and understand that they can belong to two places while carrying both in their hearts.
