Our inspiration

The idea for the pug parade was born when my eldest daughter and I began to make up stories while walking together outside.

We would laugh together until our sides ached, at the silly things they would get up to, but as a mum, I wanted to make sure there were messages within the stories - messages that would help round her into a good person too.

She would excitedly repeat our stories to our family and friends, and when we realised what a positive effect they could have, we decided to get our ideas down on paper - as a beautiful memory of those times walking through the woods together, and as an opportunity to share that joy with other people.

We’d love you to join us, and read how Chopper leads the pug parade in our pug books, in silly adventures with underlying messages that are important for young readers.
