What age range are your picture books most appropriate for?

We recommend these are most suitable for children aged 1 – 4, but as they contain loving messages, they can be enjoyed by all ages. We have been told of instances where a mother has given My Wishes For You to her 19 year old son as he ventured off on his big OE. Likewise, we were told of a friend that gifted In a World Full of Magic to a teenager who was going through a rough patch; to remind her of all the beauty that existed in the world, and how she was so very loved. 

They are beautiful books to read to your children to remind you (both the little and big people!) of this incredible thing we call love. 

Are your books written and illustrated in New Zealand?

Yes, the ‘spread the love’ series of picture books has been written and illustrated by two Kiwi Mums who reside in the Nelson/Tasman area. Both Bec and Livvy are incredibly passionate about slowing down and cherishing moments with their children.

Are your books gender neutral and suitable for single parented families?

Yes. Both the wording and illustrations in these books have been intentionally designed to be inclusive and suit a wide range of people (because every family looks different, right?!). 

The characters purposefully remain unnamed and are unisex. We also made the characters a different animal (bear and bunny) to signify that we don’t have to look the same (or be blood-related) to love one another. These books area suitable for girls, boys, mums, dads, adoptive parents, stepparents, godparents, single parents, gay parents, and special friends alike!

What is the difference between the three picture books?

All three picture books are very similar in style; intricately drawn watercolor meets whimsical and adventurous rhyme, which makes them a perfect set for gifting. They all demonstrate just how very loved children are, yet they each have their own unique tale. 

My Wishes For You ~ leads the audience on a star-filled adventurous journey of wishes for your little one. 

Before You Were Here ~ is about the journey of longing and anticipation while waiting for a very special arrival. These has been particularly popular for families that have faced a long and difficult road to conceiving.

In a World Full of Magic ~ leads the readers through a clever tale of the five senses demonstrating how extraordinary this little thing we called love really is.
