Meet Alex the Eagle, the friendly mascot of Brilla! Alex is curious, encouraging, and loves helping children discover the joy of learning. Whether a child is learning their first letters or becoming a confident reader, Alex is there to celebrate every milestone and remind young learners that they can accomplish amazing things.

Parents and children will find Alex throughout Brilla's workbooks, guiding lessons, sharing encouragement, celebrating successes, and making learning fun along the way. Alex is more than a mascot, he is a trusted learning companion who helps make every workbook an engaging adventure.

The name Alex was chosen because it is a gender-neutral name, making the mascot welcoming and relatable to every child. Alex represents all learners, regardless of their background or where their educational journey begins.

Alex is a bald eagle, the national bird of the United States. The eagle was chosen as a symbol of gratitude for the educational opportunities and possibilities the United States has provided to immigrant families. It also reflects the belief that education gives children the wings to dream big and achieve their goals.

The eagle also carries deep significance throughout Latin America, where many eagle species symbolize strength, courage, freedom, wisdom, and resilience. Alex celebrates the connection between cultures and honors the diverse backgrounds of the children and families Brilla serves.
