Lucy doesn't belong with the other ladybirds, because she has no spots. But when the frog, fish, caterpillar and bird all give her some of their spots, the other ladybirds realise that being different is great! A gorgeous visual treat that takes you through the seasons, while reinforcing a positive message to little readers about giving, sharing and accepting. A huge surprise gatefold reveals all of the creatures' amazing new spots as they jump on board with being different.

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.
