About us

Little stories, big giggles

Hushkettle Books is an independent children's publisher based in the UK. We make warm, funny and imaginative books for young readers, from laugh-out-loud picture books to curious tales that spark big questions.

Every book is made to be read aloud and enjoyed by grown-ups just as much as by the children snuggled up beside them.
