This Girl Can Be a Bit Shy

Stephanie Stansbie

Meet Ruby. Some days she is brave, bouncy and chat-chat-chatty. Other days, she is not – and that’s OK! She knows what she wants, and she does things her own way.  With expressive, retro illustrations from exciting illustration talent Hazel Quintanilla, this funny, heartwarming book celebrates the power of listening to your emotions and speaking up. Little ones will LOVE Ruby – the ultimate feisty role model to show young girls how to harness their voice and inner strength. With an underlying message about setting boundaries and consent, this book is a must-have for girls and boys alike.

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.
