Series are how we think. Bundles are how we say thank you.
How we make them
Plainly, and checked page by page.
- One idea per book, one cast per series. Each Together at Granny’s story is about a single big holiday feeling and gives a child one simple thing to try.
- Every page is directed, corrected and checked by us. We choose each scene, fix what is off and read every page before it goes into a book.
- Code checks what has to be exact. We measure the lines on every colouring page, prove every puzzle’s key against its grid by machine, and read back every word painted into a picture.
- Nothing on a listing is guessed. Page counts and sizes come from the finished file.
Every month
A free colouring page in your inbox.
One new page from whichever book we’re working on, plus first word of new titles. No noise, easy to leave.
