Stories worth keeping, for the ones you read to
At Quillo Books, we make books of many kinds: including warm, beautifully illustrated picture books with thoughtfully crafted stories, the ones a child would ask for again the next night.
Our latest book
Becoming the Brothers Lobster
Arlo and Percy are brothers with a flair for adventure: together, with a little play and a big imagination, the two dogs turn the living room into the open sea and set sail on a ship made from a cardboard box. Then a new baby comes home, and two shipmates discover a crew can always grow by one.
What we make
Original picture books
New stories with characters worth coming back to, told simply and warmly for young readers.
Refreshed classics
Beloved classic tales, gently retold and freshly illustrated for a new generation of read-alouds.
Folktales and retellings
Stories from older and farther-flung traditions, including the folklore of distant lands, brought to life for children growing up far from where the tales began.
