Cloud shapes for cloud watching

Look up, friends! What do you see in the cloud?

As a friendly reminder: Cloud watching is a great outdoor activity (and exercise for the brain), that's low-cost, low-effort, and high-reward!

Ecosystems (even tiny ones) are everywhere!!

This tree, sporting some beautiful lichen, is just one example.

What tiny ecosystems have you found lately?

We’re on a mission to make our world greener and wilder!

As we dream up new (and sometimes absolutely crazy) adventures in publishing, our end goal is to plant a forest!

Who's ready to make a difference with us?

Did you know:

A group of owls is called a parliament.

Fitting, especially in Canada, which is home to 15+ species and some very curious young readers.

When kids get dirty, they’re doing more than playing—they’re learning. Sensory-rich play can help to build vocabulary, attention, and resilience.

So let them splash and get dirty!

Every stomp builds confidence, curiosity, and connection to their environment!

Writing is hard. Illustrating is hard. Editing, designing, marketing, publishing...it's all hard.

So you have to choose your hard, because just about everything worth pursuing won't be easy.

#YouCanDoThis

Sunflowers aren’t just beautiful—they’re powerful!

After nuclear disasters, for example, fields of sunflowers can be planted to help clean the contaminated soil.

These plants are natural phytoremediators, so they can absorb heavy metals and radioactive isotopes by their roots.

Pause your scroll. Watch the trees. Breathe.
Nature makes us feel better—for real.
Another reason to protect what gives us peace.

Ground elder (aka bishop’s goutweed) looks delicate, but it's also considered an invasive species. In North America, it spreads underground and displaces native plants.

Antarctica = the largest desert on Earth.

But the driest? That’s the McMurdo Dry Valleys, where no rain has fallen in nearly 2 million years!

The driest non-polar desert? That’s the Atacama, where some regions have had 0 rainfall for centuries!

Elephants are the only mammals that can’t jump!

Their legs are built for power, not leaping. But what about whales, you might be asking... Well, while they don’t jump on land, their powerful breaches count as an airborne move.

Thank you so much to everyone who has supported us!

This was only possible because of you!

Exactly one year ago to this day, we announced that in 2023, contributions from our books helped plant 21 trees!

We were so excited to feel like we were doing more than just making books.

So now, in 2024, we’re BEYOND proud to share that the number has grown to 1,421 trees!
