Introducing Saplings
We’re thrilled to announce the launch of Saplings, our brand-new imprint dedicated to creating stories that inspire young readers to embrace diversity, understand their emotions, and grow with a sense of respect and responsibility for the environment around them. At Saplings, we believe that books hold the power to shape a child’s worldview, helping them blossom into empathetic, self-aware, and environmentally-conscious individuals.
What Makes Saplings Unique?
Inclusivity and Diversity:
“Every child deserves to see themselves in stories.”
Saplings celebrates the beauty of all cultures, abilities, and family dynamics. We create characters that children can relate to and be inspired by, fostering an inclusive worldview.
Environmental Awareness:
“Learning to care for our planet starts young.”
Through nature-focused tales, Saplings introduces children to conservation, sustainability, and the wonders of the natural world.
Emotional Development:
“Understanding emotions is the key to resilience.”
Our stories equip children with tools to navigate the complex world of feelings, encouraging empathy, courage, and self-awareness.
