Raising Global Citizens for 30 Years

We’ve come a long way since we started our small home-based business in England in 1992. Since the beginning, we’ve wanted to create visually captivating books that celebrate diversity, spark curiosity and capture children’s imaginations. Our mission has endured over the decades and feels more relevant today than it has ever been.

Opening children’s hearts, minds and worlds Our vibrant Spring 2022 Collection blooms with themes of sustainability, compassion and courage.

We continue to inspire budding environmentalists with our newest singalong about urban gardening (Rooftop Garden, page 6) and a unique story about cleaning up pollution and creating art (Scrap Metal Swan, page 8).

Zahra’s Blessing (page 5) immerses young readers in a multi-layered story of Muslim traditions, generosity and belonging, while Nour’s Secret Library (page 3) tells the true story of brave children who created a refuge of books in a landscape of war.

As always, the timely lessons in these books are delivered with gorgeous artwork from both established and up-andcoming illustrators.

Happy browsing,

Nancy Traversy CEO & Co-Founder

Will offering one of the animals to another child help bridge the gap?
