About ECHO Books
Big Feelings Deserve to Be Understood
ECHO turns emotional-development knowledge into meaningful stories, practical tools, and shared experiences that help families navigate big feelings together.
Because parents do not need more pressure. They need thoughtful support they can use in real life.
Our Story
Built Together, with Purpose
We are Gal and Orin Mangadi, twin sisters, mothers, and co-founders of ECHO. For years, our conversations returned to children, parenting, and how difficult it can be to know what to say or do when a child is experiencing big feelings.
We realized that helpful information was already available. What many busy parents, including us, needed was a simpler way to turn that knowledge into clear language, practical tools, and meaningful moments with their children. Conversations and feedback from other parents showed us that this need was shared by many families.
Those conversations became the foundation of ECHO. In September 2025, Gal moved to Winnipeg, Canada, so we could begin building it together. For six months, we lived and worked side by side, turning our shared idea into something families could use.
ECHO was built to make emotional support easier to understand, easier to use, and easier to bring into everyday family life.
Why ECHO?
Ideas That Echo Beyond the Page
We chose the name ECHO because we want the ideas within our stories to travel beyond the page and become part of everyday conversations, difficult moments, and meaningful connections between children and the adults who care for them.
Our hope is that these messages continue to echo through families, returning in the words parents use and the tools children remember, while supporting positive change that lasts long after the book is closed.

Two Sisters. Different Strengths. One Shared Purpose.
Gal Mangadi
Author Product Growth
I have worked with children since I was 17, and education has remained at the heart of everything I do. I studied education and created several child-focused ventures, including an educational science and toy store and a children’s science camp.
At ECHO, I write our stories, lead product development, and help shape the brand’s growth. I focus on turning meaningful ideas into thoughtful products that can reach and support more families. I believe that investing in children today can help us build a better future within one generation.
Orin Mangadi
Chief Marketing Officer
I began my professional career in mechanical engineering and later worked in real estate. I bring to ECHO a practical and analytical perspective, together with experience in communication, business, and turning ideas into action.
At ECHO, I lead marketing and sales. I shape how we communicate our message, build meaningful relationships, and connect our products with the families and professionals they were created to support.
Together, we combine different strengths with one shared purpose: helping families feel more connected, more capable, and better supported through big emotional moments.

What We Stand For
Care in Every Choice
Support Without Judgment
Parents and children need language that helps them feel understood - not labels, blame, or added pressure.
Practical by Design
We turn thoughtful knowledge into clear language and practical tools families can use in everyday life.
Quality That Communicates Care
From the words on the page to the materials families hold, every detail is created with care.
Progress, Not Promises
Emotional development takes time, repetition, patience, and connection. We create tools families can return to as they learn and grow together.
Our Hope for Every Parent
Less Guilt. More Confidence.
