Every parent carries values they want to pass on
We started Spark and Wonder Books because we believe the most important things parents want to teach their children. Courage, kindness, honesty, wonder. These deserve better tools than a lecture or a lesson plan.
Our books draw on philosophy, mythology, and the conversations that happen between parents and children at bedtime, in the car, and over breakfast. We don't simplify these ideas. We make them accessible in story and in color, so reading together becomes the thing that sticks.
Every book we publish is a conversation starter. A moment shared between a parent and a child that they'll both remember.
