Our Community
We are more than just a publishing company. We are a team of writers, readers, and book lovers who share a passion for the written word and want to share that magic with as many children as possible. We are an independent alternative publisher passionate about bringing books to children that usually wouldn't pass the big literary gatekeepers within the UK. We're here to champion the small!

Our Philosophy
Publishing should be a collaborative process between authors, editors, illustrators, and readers, all working together to produce the absolute best version of your story. We are committed to producing magical children's picture books with as small a footprint on the earth as possible. We only use local Devonian printers with ecologically sensitive inks and papers, and distribute through an amazing network of independent bookshops.
