Short, beautifully designed books that make it easier to sit, read and connect.

I created these books for my Mum. She has always loved reading.

As that became harder, I wanted something we could still share.

These books use clear images and short sentences. She reads a line or two, pauses, and then we talk.

It is not about reading perfectly. It is about being together.

Picture books to share, together

For a loved one who is hard to buy for.

A simple gift for a parent, grandparent or someone living in aged care.

Often chosen by daughters, sons and grandchildren who want something meaningful to share, not just something to give.

A thoughtful gift…

I’m so proud of you…

The I’m So Proud of You series offers a simple way to express the deeper things we often struggle to say. With clear images and short, easy-to-follow text, it helps create meaningful moments of connection.

I am so proud of how you have handled change.
A new home.
New routines.
New people.
That is a lot to cope with - and you do so with a brave face.
— I'm so proud of you Mum
