Emotional Maturity and STEM learning

• Many stories are grounded in a child’s emotional life; their feelings acknowledged and embraced.

• Editorial support from psychologists to help frame the language used.

• STEM features heavily and contains additional resources for parents.

• Books about AI learning (parents can learn something too!)

Diverse Representation and Multi-Language

• Stories feature people that look like my children and their friends.

• Multi-lingual translations and space for parents to add more languages. QR codes feature videos of the books being read aloud in multiple languages.

• Literacy books - first words, and A-Z books on a variety of imaginative topics.

Community, Carbon and Giving Back

• An option to buy one, donate one.

• 1% of all books sold will be given to libraries and schools. 1% of profits to carbon neutral projects.

• School editions provided at-cost on a buy ten, give two basis.

• Partnerships with local editors and bookstores.

Choose your own adventure Some books have online-enabled content where kids can craft their own stories.

Colouring-in/Activity books Some books come with additional activities that you can do with your child.

Draw yourself into the story Some books enable readers to add themselves as characters in the story.

Fellow parents can co-create Contribute to the content with your ideas for new topics, feedback about the digital content, thoughts about how to support your own children. We can’t promise to incorporate them all - but we can promise to try our best to synthesise the best ideas into a product that serves our children.

Speakers of other languages My family has found it hard to find books in languages we want to immerse our children in. For those who feel the same way - our books are designed for you to contribute translations and reading in your own languages, to be shared by all.

I am an ex-corporate stay at home dad, with a background in software engineering and astrophysics. As a hobby, have long been an author, poet and painter.

I love documenting our children’s precious growth moments; and reading books to encourage their love of learning and literacy. We found great difficulty finding bilingual books, so we made our own. These books are about topics important to us - emotional maturity, AI/STEM topics, and imagination/creative/literature. I hope we can serve many parents like ourselves, and be part of a community of parent storytellers.
