Stories make us Human

Childrens books that help change lives. We publish stories with the purpose to empower, educate and entertain. Each story raises awareness and gives back to charitable causes that can drive positive change.

Our Books

Our stories are built to foster a compassionate community; one in which we express our authentic selves freely yet responsibly. It is important to talk, laugh and accept that big emotions will happen, but it is how we navigate them that matters.

Buff & Strawberry Adventures

Under 7s
Picture Books
A short series of picture books for young readers to explore and accept big emotions, ranging from anger to anxiety.

The books share many ways to express these emotions, be that through colour, music or movement.

The Christmas Quest

Ages 8-12
Fable style
A series of bite-sized fable-style stories, written in poem and prose, to be read together by children and adults alike.

The books explore all emotions, from despair through to hope, encouraging discussion, reflection and tolerance as children find their own voice and opinion as they explore wider world themes.

The UNFOLLOW Series

ages 13+
graphic novels
A series for young adults exploring how the online and offline worlds connect, and how to recognise influencer abuse, echo chambers and algorithm control.

Written as conspiracy theories, the stories encourage young adults to question the world around them, form their own opinions and detox without disappearing.
What They Say
The UNFOLLOW Series

"I wish my parents would read the UNFOLLOW series… These books show that we are brave to stand up or unfollow. All we need is some faith, we want a safer social media too!"

15 Year Old

"The UNFOLLOW books helped me talk to them again, finding understanding instead of fighting."

15 Year Old
Buff & Strawberry Adventures

"I read The Lost Hat with my son after a temper tantrum. He realised he had turned into Master Frumpy-Bum and we laughed about it together. He even told me I was turning into Buff before dinner one night!"

Mum of 6-year-old
Buff & Strawberry Adventures

"My twins are so scared of the dark. We had to get a sleep therapist in because bedtime was being such a nightmare! Then we used the hand-brain model that is shared in The Noisy Night. What a difference!"

Dad of 5-year-old twins
Buff & Strawberry Adventures

"This book has helped our children be less scared of animals which is really wonderful given we are a city school…"

5-year-old after a school reading
The UNFOLLOW Series

"My parents hate it but I love scrolling through the funny videos on TikTok… Ok, so The Buddyhood gets it, the power is mine to unfollow and stand up. Surely it's the grown ups job to make socials safer not just block them?!"

16-year-old
The UNFOLLOW Series

"All I want is to be able to talk to my parents again. The moment my phone comes out there is tense silence. The UNFOLLOW books helped me talk to them again finding understanding instead of fighting."

16-year-old
The UNFOLLOW Series

"I couldn't put this book down, I usually am on my phone or TV after school but I read these back to back in three days! I need the next one!"

14-year-old
The UNFOLLOW Series

"I don't enjoy using social media but all my friends only chat on it so I'm on it… But these books say there's a darker force and I believe it, I'm now on Phi, the Buddyhood platform and just feel so much better coz I'm giving to people and saving lives."

17-year-old
The Christmas Quest Series

"I really wanted to get my daughter a book that would help her rediscover the magic of Christmas… It didn't just captivate her, it encouraged her to discuss bigger themes… I'm shocked my daughter is now so involved in current affairs discussions rather than being passive at home on her phone!"

Mum of 12 year old
The Christmas Quest Series

"The authors kindly came in for a reading and we themed the school Christmas Grotto around the book. The children loved it, convinced Father Christmas was a pirate…"

Head of Parents Association at a primary school
The Christmas Quest Series

"Christmas is always hard with twins, whatever one gets the other wants and my two boys know how to get what they want! I gave them the Whitebeard's Wonders as a pre Christmas gift, told them elf wanted them to have it! The 'Sharing is Caring' story really hit home for them"

Dad of 8 year old twins

"My daughter made up games and stories for her little brother and sister on Captain Whitebeard's adventures. Every evening we had a special story moment in the run up to Christmas, so special!"
