Meet our Team

We are a small team of passionate and skilled creators that work with authors and businesses whose products are empowering, supportive and educational. We are proud to

Create your Brand and Publish your Story.​

Our vision stemmed from a community need for resources to support children and families for learning and life.

What started with one book, has grown to incorporate design and publishing services for many authors and business owners.

Whether you need a logo for your book series, posters and brochures to advertise your books, a photo shoot for your author website or a collection of short stories that you’ve always dreamed of being published. We can do it all.

Whatever your project is, you can be sure to have a dedicated team from beginning to end.

Our Brand

Why a Butterfly?

When I was thinking of a name to call our publishing house, I wanted it to represent everyone. Being a writer of the Inclusive Books for Children genre meant I wanted to ensure it had strong associations with inclusion. I love metaphors and having been in the graphic design industry for 20+ years, I know that memorable and successful business names often use familiar words that translated into imagery in our minds. This ensures our best chance of remembering it.

A butterfly perfectly represents what we aim to do.

We aim to bring hope and positive change to the lives of young children and their families.​

Our Metaphor

The butterfly represents struggling children that persist when things are a challenge, continue to learn and grow, then transform into bright and happy individuals who are ready to fly confidently into the world.

Our Logo

On first glance you see a butterfly and words. Looking closer you’ll notice the illustration has been created with B for Butterfly and a P for Publishing. The lines within the B represent the written word ie. publishing. So when we publish a resource, we create a butterfly.
