Behind the Brand

Behind the brand

A publishing house operating like a boutique studio: every concept is carefully curated, and every sketch lovingly drawn.

We craft bespoke stories and products that are intentional, rooted in purpose, and inspired by our passion for travel, all to make childhood a little more magical.

What sets us apart

At the end of the day, we’re not just making books.

Mission-driven

From day one, our aim has been that every product is crafted not only to delight but to help raise little explorers who approach the world with kindness, wonder and an open heart.

Intentional by design

Every page is crafted to delight while supporting emotional, cognitive, and language development.

Design-led

Thoughtful design helps powerful messages land with children in ways they can feel and remember.

Travel DNA

We promote early learning through a global lens. Travel is and will always be our lens for learning, wonder, and discovery.

Mom-owned

As a former digital nomad turned mom, this brand was born from a map, a baby, and a deep desire to make storytime both inspiring, delightful and meaningful.

Our Corner of the World

From our home — Cidade Maravilhosa — to yours

Based in Rio de Janeiro, bossa nova drifts through open windows, waves crash just beyond view, and Rio's vibrant soul colors everything we create.

As a small boutique studio, we have the luxury of ensuring every theme is carefully curated, every word weighed, and every spread sketched, revised, and reimagined until it feels just right.

Our walls are pinned with maps, language notes, and travel photos. Our desks overflow with paper samples, Pantone swatches, test prints, and gouaches—all sharing space with sticky little hands, crayons, play-doh, and scattered Lego pieces. Toddlers run wild through our workspace, testing pages and mixing colors. They're our muses, our editors, and our most honest critics.

Somehow, within the beautiful happymess of motherhood, we create our best work. The magic lives in those tender in-between moments when everything briefly aligns — kissing away tears from scraped knees, catching quiet breaths amid joyful chaos, pouring our hearts into deadlines, then gently closing the laptop to snuggle in for bedtime stories.

What we believe

Stories can connect children to the world and to themselves.

Curiosity is a superpower

Kids are naturally curious, and our role is simply to nurture it.

Wonder is wisdom in disguise

Awe is more than magic. It’s fuel for learning, empathy, and imagination.

Books are bridges

Stories connect us across languages, cultures, and generations.

Childhood should feel big, not small

We design stories that make the world feel small and open, not overwhelming.

Moms are makers

This brand was born in the in-between moments: the gestation consults, the nap breaks, the bedtime reads and the suitcase zippers. We honor the creative fire that motherhood can spark.
