About Us

Our Vision, Your Child’s Future

At Child-about-life Books, we believe every child deserves stories that grow minds, spark joy, and give back. We create engaging stories for children from birth to 12 years and beyond. Every book is designed to help children build confidence, strengthen reading skills, develop strong values, and fall in love with books for life. Expect adventure, imagination, laughter, cool facts, and meaningful life lessons in every read. We also source or produce reading aids and exciting book-character merch that our readers love to have. From story-themed bookmarks and flashcards to plushies and puzzles, we help stories jump off the page and into real life.

OUR STATEMENT

Beyond the stories

Our mission goes further. Every purchase funds children’s literacy initiatives, scholarship, healthcare and general welfare programmes — giving more children access to books, education, and brighter futures. When you buy from us, you grow your child’s library and help another child discover the joy of reading and live a fuller life.

We publish for every stage of childhood:
