“I wanted to create classic children’s books full of love, wit and charm. I love going into schools and inspiring children to read books, write, and be creative. My characters, verses and stories are unique and will bring a smile to your face whilst celebrating inclusivity and diversity.”  

Our unique books and gifts are eco-friendly (no mass printing or production, even our gift-wrap can be used as drawing/writing paper!) importantly they are not gender-specific. Created by us and exclusively available from us.
