Is grumpy Gus really a big old softie – maybe, or maybe not... Giggle away those grumps with This is Gus, a hilarious picture book written and illustrated by bestselling Chris Chatterton, about bad moods, friendship and learning to compromise. After all . . . we all have Gus days!

Sam and Soraya

Built by Sam & Soraya

In 2022 we welcomed our little twins into the world. Since then we have been building up our home library full of baby books to try and give our boys the best start.

While books with characters called Sam are found in bookstores and charity shops throughout the land, we struggled to find any books with Soraya, Jasper, or Xander.

This gave Soraya the idea to compile a list of books for new parents and then Sam decided to turn it in to a website.
