Grotti

WINNER OF THE FCBG CHILDREN'S BOOK AWARD FOR YOUNGER CHILDREN 2025

WINNER OF A PORTSMOUTH BOOK AWARD 2025

'A funny, sweet, original picture book about adapting to babies' needs.' Guardian

Down in the hollow, where creepy tangles grow, a knight finds something green, something grotti. He explains that he can't stay because he is very busy ('I've got beasts to battle and kingdoms to defend!'). But he can't just leave this sad, lost - and very big-eyed! - baby monster, can he?

With originality and humour, Leonie Lord explores the way babies enter our lives: demanding new levels of care and attention, but also filling us up with love and stealing our hearts for ever.

As a small business, we believe it is our responsibility to always have sustainability in mind.

The joy of being small is that every decision is our own to make - what materials go into our products, what packaging we choose, what businesses we buy from and who we choose to stock.

We can’t afford a lot of the volume discounts that mean these choices don’t impact us financially, but this is part of why we price ourselves the way we do, as it’s the right thing to do.
