Children believe what they’re told.

So we tell them they’re brave, kind, and clever.

Children should hear good things about themselves early and often.

Our colouring books contain a simple message on every page about the kind of person worth being. Our picture stories continue that through funny books that teach them a bit about life.

From us

Why we make them

Children do not miss a beat. Long before they can read, they’re taking in everything they hear about themselves. So we tell them good things.

Every page of our colouring books has one. I am brave. I am kind. I see everyone as equal. Words that can become part of who a child is, if they’re said often enough.

Our picture stories are there to make them laugh and, quietly, to teach them something about life.

Granted, none of this is new. Most parents want it for their children anyway. But there’s no harm in starting early.
