"I believe in the power of innocent storytelling — the kind that sparks imagination, warms hearts, and gently teaches life's little lessons."

— Ruby Molly Hawkins

It all started with a notebook, a cup of tea, and a memory of tomatoes in the garden. Every story since has been written with care, kindness, and the hope of sparking joy in young readers.

What families are saying

Real bedtime moments, shared by parents and little readers.

"My daughter asks for Tommy Tomato every single night — the stickers are her favourite part! We've started a little collection on her bedroom wall, and she genuinely gets excited every time a new book arrives just to see which characters we get this time."

Sarah M.

"The Hawkins Family books feel so warm and real. We've collected the whole series and my son loves comparing his own adventures with Harry and Ben's. It's rare to find stories this gentle that still keep kids fully engaged from start to finish."

James T.

"Gentle, kind stories that actually teach something — and my son loves the characters. What I appreciate most is how each book gently introduces a life lesson without ever feeling preachy. Bedtime has genuinely become something he looks forward to."
