Picture books for the slow afternoons.
An independent studio making screen-free books that trust the child to look. Wordless, bilingual, award-winning: and made to be read again.
The Big Beetle way Truly Indian
Made for the slow afternoon.
Our books carry the warmth of villages, the ease of family time, and the joy of small, simple things: a scraped knee, a cardboard box, a buffalo in the field.
They're made for slow childhoods and slower afternoons, and we're told they're loved as much by grandparents as by the children curled up in their laps.
